Bye Bye Bye Libertarian Party

Gigi Bowman17 Comments
Gary Johnson sucks as the spokesperson for the Libertarian Party. ANYONE –even Tony the Tiger off the Cereal Box– could have gotten as much press as Johnson/Weld is getting because people are looking for alternatives from Hillary and Trump…..so selling the soul of the Libertarian party was a waste of time.
The left controlled media would have given time to ANY Libertarian candidate this year and pushed them in the limelight in hopes of taking votes away from Trump (meanwhile Gary is out there making excuses for Hillary hoping to cash in on Bernie voters –appease appease appease). The Never Trumpers like Bill Kristol and Jeb Bush and John Kasich would have given credibility to ANY Libertarian candidate and given them press where and when they could just because they didn’t want Trump… oh, and the William Weld thing?  That was an inside job for sure….just ask Bill Kristol who he’s voting for.
But I imagine ANYONE who ran would be doing a better job getting the message out in a more refined way. And I can only imagine how great it would have been had we had anyone but Gary.  Austin Petersen and Larry Sharpe would most likely have been a wow team getting as much if not more POSITIVE press with many more Libertarians behind them rather than this divided party we see today with facebook pages like “Gary Johnson is a Neocon Shill Who Sold Out the Party” or “Libertarians against Gary Johnson and William Weld”.   Had we given the nomination to John McAfee I’m sure we would not only had mega-press but most likely a whole new crew of Libertarians from the world of gamers and nerds!  We might have had Libertarian Pokemon!
In this volatile year having Gary Johnson as the Presidential Candidate was the biggest mistake ever. The stupidity of this choice in a time when the Libertarian Party could have prevailed in spreading its message AND WON rather than just trying to win by diluting the message was the biggest mistake the Libertarian Party has ever made.
What a waste of time. Energy. Money. Hard work. Effort on the part of the people who have tried to make this party grow based on the message of Liberty. Now it’s a joke. Now it’s the third evil choice.

Unlike many other people I know in the Liberty movement, I believe in voting. I believe that my voice is important and I have this one little vote to back it up.  Whether it’s actually counted or not I have no control over –though I have gone out of my way to make sure that it does by going out and collecting signatures for candidates when needed, by being a poll inspector and by being a poll watcher at different times in my life.  I’ve run for office. I’ve gone down to the BOE and counted votes. I’ve gone down the the Board of Elections and yelled. I’ve tried to walk the walk where I could.

In the last day though something has changed for me. I believe once again in the voting system. I believe that when ENOUGH people go out there and vote –whether it’s because they actually give a damn or because they are mad –either way, when ENOUGH people do it…..it may actually work?  I believe that happened with Donald Trump.  They tried to stop him but for whatever reason –whether it was what he was saying or the past 8 years of Obama or the fear of Hillary, he apparently brought about one of the highest voter counts in history and by a landslide, Trump won the nomination.  I’m shocked.  I said I would eat a hat if he got the nomination because I did not believe he would. I did not believe they would “let him have it”…..but with the highest voter turnout in history for a Republican Primary, Trump beat all odds to win the nomination.  He did it.  And I believe it happened because of the sheer number of voters. How can you steal that many unless you want to see some really angry voters!   How this will play out between the Democrats and Republicans in the elections in November is another story.  The Hillary camp are old school thieve masters and I don’t trust that this election will be fair.  In fact, I’m kind of scared it could turn into a civil war with all the divisiveness we have seen from the press it could only get worse I’m sure.

But anyway…..I’m going to be voting in this election and I’m going to be voting for Donald Trump.  Why?  Well, rather than give a grand statement I’m going to leave you with this speech from last night…..

Anyone who can bring up a child to be this smart, passionate, eloquent, down to earth, respectful and loving…..  can’t be all that bad.  And I can’t vote for a Libertarian Candidate with actual Libertarian values so this is my best choice.  Trump is a wild card and a gamble but I’d rather take my chances.

Libertarian Election Recap: Who Will I Vote For?

Gigi BowmanLeave a comment
Lets Recap:
I voted for Trump in the Republican primary because I thought he would lose and I wanted to see a riot break out at the convention (although we still have no idea what tricks are up their sleeves in the Grand Old Prick Party). In the meantime I was steering people to the Libertarian party to vote for Johnson should people not get their choice on the right & the left (Bernie or Trump).
I was supporting Johnson until he decided to bring Weld on board. I don’t do CFR members.  Johnson making bad choices before getting his foot in the door makes him someone I believe is “not aware” and will compromise the Libertarian party away until it’s GOP light.
I endorsed Darryl Perry because he’s the most libertarian dude running for this job. He’s the smartest guy in the room and he deserves to be a contender.
I am now going to figure out who will get my 2nd Round vote SHOULD Darryl Perry not make it into the 2nd Round.
Watch-Part-One-Of-The-Libertarian-Party-Debate-On-Stossel
McAfee, Petersen and Johnson seem to be the three front runners but that could change. You just never know with these Libertarian Conventions….. I mean, Ron Paul could walk into the room and if that happens all bets are off and Paul it is.
But of the three front runners……
Why should I vote for any of them?
McAfee/Weiss
Pros: I like McAfee/Weiss, the Anarchist Team.  Weiss thinks outside the box and that’s something the Libertarian Party sorely needs and they have Tiffany Madison on their team and she appears to be a smart, tenacious go-getter –another thing lacking in the Libertarian Party. I hope if they don’t win, that they stay because THEY are the game changers. McAfee has cyber security and a libertarian lifestyle as his assets (although on Cyber security –if I was running for President I’d choose Gary S. Miliefsky, my favorite geek https://www.snoopwall.com/.  He’ll be speaking at the Libertarian Convention –you should check him out.    I do believe that it’s important to have a President who can figure out how to send emails without bringing about WWIII 😉
Cons: I have asked McAfee/Weiss on their FB page where they stand on my two BIG issues -Big Pharma and GMO food (aka Corporatism). They have not answered. At this rate Janice McAfee is who I would vote for because she seems to be on the right side of my issues. As a facebook friend I see what she’s sharing and I like it.  The con’s going around are they say he’s too radical and “too libertarian” lol…..  What happened to principle over party?
Not enough executive experience.
Austin Petersen
Pros: He’s young. He’s got a lot of tenacity.  He’s got the look.  He speaks fluent politico. He has Judge Napolitano.  He comes from The Ron Paul reVOlution so he’s aware….
He’s got Tony Stiles (wait, does anyone know that besides me? –is he utilizing this guy enough??). He has endorsements with big names –so what if they’re responsible for crimes against humanity lol

Cons: Petersen and I have had our moments in this Love/ Hate relationship. I think he’s responsible for bringing a lot of the DICKY Libertarians into the Party aka Skeptical Libertarians. He’s turned off a considerable amount of people over the years.  He assures me that he’s NOT for herd immunity or forcing me to eat what I don’t want to eat. That doesn’t really “go there” –it just skirts the issue and appeases me. I don’t want to be appeased. I want action. Tell the mother fuckers at Monsanto and Syngenta to get the fuck out of bed with our Government. That’s what I want to hear. No one is telling me this or is even aware of what I’m aware of (and keep those fucking Libertarians for GMO’s and Vaccines away from me at the Convention because I have A BIG FRIGGEN BODY GUARD DAMMIT).

Gary Johnson/William Weld:
Pros: Gary Johnson has executive experience as an x-Governor.  He is aware of GMO food –although he thinks it’s a gluten problem. (he has Celiac disease) –so I can’t say that he’s aware of the Corporatism in this country because he has never talked about it other than wanting to label GMO food because he has this gluten problem.   See, he wants to know what he’s eating so he doesn’t end up in pain, and I get that, but I don’t give a shit about labeling food…I want to sever the ties between these Corporatist behemoths who have destroyed our food system, water, soil, air with their toxins and who are killing us with their medication –which I might add is ending up in our water system as well.  I want him to dig deeper into what he just touches on.

Cons:  William Weld and bad choices as I’ve relayed above.  Debt from his last campaign.  Wishy-washy debater. Seems like he is smoking away his business every time I see him in person.

So who should get my second vote? Give me good reasons knowing what my issues are –Well, besides the deficit, our “war” problem and the biggest problem I see on the horizon GLOBALISM. Whose gonna stop that?  William Weld, Mr. CFR, NAU Chairperson? HELL NO I’M NOT VOTING FOR HIM! And don’t ask me about VP because I don’t know –I like so many…that’s my tough one….
See you at the Convention Libertarian peeps.   Can’t wait to see all of you!  (well except for those dicks I talked about, Skeptical Libertarians,  and you can keep Mr. Herd Immunity himself, Penn Gillette away from me if he’s there –and that other GMO loving “we need to feed the world”,  John Stossel –considering what he’s going through physically it would do him well to stop eating herbicides and pesticides, ya think??

So here is my ultimatum:  If William Weld gets the nomination for VP I will walk out of the room and away from the Party and burn my newly acquired Libertarian Voters Registration. (which I was able to get in my new home of Florida where the Libertarian Party has ballot access)

Love me or Hate me….i’m gonna be there and I have a vote 🙂

Now It’s Time to Put Up Someone Worth Voting For

Gigi Bowman2 Comments

In a time when the elections are so volatile with people running for office in the Republican and Democrat Parties that may actually cause the house to burn…..I voted for Trump in the primary for that one purpose –to watch the fall of the GOP empire.

But for the General Election I think it’s time to choose an upstanding Candidate that people can feel proud to vote for when they look right then left and see nothing but Socialism or Fascism…..I am choosing Liberty.

And that is why I endorse Gary Johnson for President.

Paul Festival Announces New Additions to an Already Impressive Lineup

Gigi Bowman1 Comment

Ron Paul sends a personal message of appreciation

“Golden State” and others join the show

Tampa, FL. – On Thursday, July 26th, Paul Festival announced new additions to an already impressive lineup that includes keynote speaker Peter Schiff, Lew Rockwell, Gov. Gary Johnson, and Chuck Baldwin.  The new additions include:

  • Country and Western Sensations, “Burns & Poe“
  • Liberty Band: “Golden State“
  • The Winners of the Paul Festival Video Promo Contest : “Corrected Axiom”
  • YouTube Sensation, “The Minister of Truth and the Axis Experience“
  • Atlanta Georgia’s own: “The Industry“

They join the music sensation The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Ron Keel, Jordan Page, Tatiana Moroz, Rebel Inc and Circle II Circle, among others.  A full list of speakers and performers are available on their website at http://www.PaulFestival.org.

Organizers have been busy putting together what could potentially be the greatest gathering of the Liberty movement to date.  They were pleasantly surprised by an encouraging note from the founder of the movement, Presidential contender Ron Paul himself — whose recent legislative victory in the House saw bi-partisan support to audit the Federal Reserve.

“The organizers of Paul Fest have been very helpful in working with my staff to avoid scheduling conflicts with our rally on Sunday, and I am very appreciative of the flexibility they’ve shown and the enthusiasm with which they’ve embraced our plans. I am confident that the hard work by the Paul Fest organizers will result in a great time for all those attending their event.” stated the Congressman.

As a special promotion, organizers are holding a ticket raffle and prize give-a-way.  Prizes include a Skype-date with the sultry sensation Tatiana Moroz, tickets to LibertyFest NYC, the premier of Atlas Shrugged and many more.  Anyone who buys a ticket or a Ronvoy package between now and Aug. 8th are entered into our drawing.  For more information please visit: http://www.paulfestival.org/77-general-information/253-paulfestival-ticket-raffle-and-prize-give-a-way

The confluence of events taking place in Tampa are shaping up to be quite a spectacle.  Besides the official RNC events, Paul Festival, theRally at the Sundome, the Veterans’ March, Camp Liberty, not to mention the Ronvoy parade through Tampa, this August is sure to be an historical time for the Liberty movement, which is the proving itself as the fastest growing political movement in recent history.
