She was warmly received at the San Diego County Convention and plans to attend other county conventions in California.

Keep in mind that Root wrote a book less than 2 years ago called “Millionaire Republican.” My gut reaction is that he is using us as a means to his reality show means and is just giving lip service to the platform.

Imperato said he was still learning the platform. WHAT? You’re running to be our Presidential candidate and you are a worldly man of learning and you want to our President without learning our platform first? Just think about that thought process. If it doesn’t make sense, then there is something else at work.

Kubby on the other hand risks his liberty whenever he campaigns in certain states assuming he is still using medicinal pot which it seemed from his comments is the case with little doubt. He’s been the California Gubernatorial candidate. He is well-spoken.

Kubby has my support for now.

To me, Imperato impressed me as having motivations that were not in line with libertarian principles. I asked him about his take on the current interpretation of the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution specifically because he had boasted about his knowledge of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and ? hmmm, don’t remember the third item. He didn’t have a clue but tried to BS the answer. This was not the only question for which he seemed to be in over his head but not willing to admit it.

After the event, I asked Root the same question and he admitted he didn’t have a clue either but would be interested in finding out about it.

Holist was a joke, sorry to say.

Al Segalla made an astute observation of Jingozian when he said he sounded more populist than libertarian.

I have seen Kubby speak before and I think he was much more polished this time than before. He had greater energy and spoke in an easy style.

Jingo read his presentation, but was energetic. Imperato seemed like an Amway hired gun motivational speaker, but his knowledge of foreign affairs was both impressive and scary. He boasted to having broken bread with the Bin Laden family and found a delegate that was of Syrian descent, speaking fluently to him in Arabic. He mentioned that he held several titles including one “Knight of Malta.” (search wikipedia for an article on this.) This in conjunction with a few other comments led me to the impression he is what I would call, “very Catholic.” This included his take on abortion. I forget the exact verbiage he used, but it sounded like couched pro-life to me. Maybe Mr. Winger can refresh my memory.

“He responded to a question about immigration policy by saying he favors open borders.”

What was Kubby’s reasoning behind this stance? No candidate with this position will be elected president in 2008.

“[Imperato] said that he would have U.S. military forces stop fighting in Iraq, but remain there…”

This is even more idiotic than the proposal that the troops be removed to a nearby nation.

What’s happened to Aaron Russo and Gary Nolan? (Have they started a Mutual Admiration Society?)
