The Worm That's Eating Thom Tillis's Cabbage

Meet Sean Haugh, the Libertarian candidate for U.S. Senate.

Libertarian Candidate for NC Gov Calls Amendment 1 an "Abomination"

Barbara Howe, who is running (again) for NC governor on the Libertarian Party ticket, is none too happy with the Republican agenda in Raleigh, especially the intrusion of their religious bigotry into the state's constitution in the form of the heterosexual-marriage-is-the-only-legitimate-marriage amendment passed on May 8th.

Barbara Howe brought a paper shredder to the steps of the NC General Assembly yesterday, and she and her husband ran their 35-year-old marriage license through it as a protest.

No kidding.

"I believe in limited government," she said. "Government should protect us from people who hurts us but otherwise just stay out of our lives, and that's not what we're getting in North Carolina."

No, we're getting the Reign of the Religious Right in NC.

NC Republicans Worrying About Libertarians

Should North Carolina Republicans welcome Libertarians and ally with them? That was the deep topic yesterday at ConservativeNC.com. It's certainly a yawning chasm of possibility, somewhat in the realm of how many free marketeers can dance on the head of a pin, and poster "Eagle Forum in NC" works up a good deal of angst contemplating a Republican Party in which Libertarians, with their dope smokin' laxity toward abortion and gay marriage, might take over.

Conclusion: Libertarians telling Republicans what to think is a plot hatched at Daily Kos!

Libertarians Will Be on the Ballot in NC

This is major news. For exactly the reasons Ed Cone and others are saying.

Everything will be more entertaining, especially with Mike Munger running as a Libertarian for Guv. Munger is something of a stand-up comedian and a professor of political science at Dook (or is that redundant?).
