Libertarians offer a genuine choice. According to the US GAO, the United States is headed for a financial collapse on its present democratic or republican print more money, spend more money and ship this money and the productive manufacturing equipment out of America. Sixty nine trillion dollars is the debt ($69,000,000,000,000) including medicare and rising with the increasing baby boom retiring population. As a percentage of GNP it is rising with an outta control Bush Administration using this debt to further its wars elsewhere. The public needs to know that their retirement and medicine will be wiped out by the present “stay the course” and “change the Administrators” of the chugging along executive and legislative branch.

The vote test for a party to remain on in North Carolina is that it get 2% for either president, or Governor. Governor is only elected in presidential years. If a party gets on in a mid-term year, it is automatically also on for the next election as well. So if either Barr or Munger gets 2%, the LP will be on automatically in 2010 and 2012.

Praise God for options. Praise Him even further for GOOD options. As much as is possible I will never again vote for a Republican or Democrat.

Note that in the crosstabs, 6% of Democrats will vote for Barr, and 5% of Republicans will vote for Barr. This is evidence against the very widespread notion that Libertarian votes “come from” Republicans.
