Using an ancient Captain Midnight secret decoder ring at Warp speed,
Guy Putnam, sent the following message to Rd Thompson:
GP>  -=> Quoting Rd Thompson to Steve Gunhouse <=-
GP> 
GP>  SG> That's mostly what Neil said. I disagree. All we need is a real
GP>  SG> leader, and we can beat both Clinton and Dole.
GP> 
GP>  RT> You do not have that leader yet. 
GP> 
GP> We The People are the govt, & we're the leaders.  We need to turnover our
GP> employees . . .
Then do so while you have the chance.
GP>  RT> You need a national power base and
GP>  RT> you don't have that.  You need people (read voters) to think that a
GP>  RT> Libertarian vote will be more than a throwaway and you don't have 
that
GP>  RT> either.  
GP> 
GP> That's where the leaders come in . . . voters who vote for whom _they_
GP> want.  You're a follower . . . . .
I'm a realist.
GP>  RT> That is why you need the time to build . . .
GP> 
GP> We've got 12 hrs. on election day in November . . . . how much more time 
GP> does one need?
Time to get some name recognition on the ballot.
GP>  RT> We don't want to shoot ourselves in the foot.
GP> 
GP> You've been shooting yourself in both feet, election after election.  How
GP> much worse can you get?  Machine guns can't be built since 1986,
GP> manufacture of semi-auto rifles banned, waiting periods, infantry rifle
GP> imports banned, magazines banned . . . . . . . . . . . . !
How active are you other than in here?  Are you involved in politics
at a local level?  County?  State?  If not, why not?
GP>  SG> How long did it take the Republicans to "build their power base"
GP>  SG> in the 1850s? Maybe 2 years. When the time is right - and in my view
GP>  SG> that's now - you don't have to "build" anything.
GP> 
GP>  RT> I don't agree with you, but then that is what this country is about. 
GP> 
GP> No, this country "is about" adhering to The Supreme Law Of The Land!
Good.
GP>  RT> I just don't want to be the one in November to say "See, I told 
you." 
GP>  RT> :^( 
GP> 
GP> You can say:  "Look!  I voted for lesser Trash . . . & I got Trash!?  I
GP> didn't exercise my Political Power, but I let someone else do it for me.
GP> Now, I'm going to turn in my guns, because Dole said so."
No, hopefully I can say I helped to get Clinton out of the White
House.
GP>  SG> I don't have much against Dole at this point, except that he isn't
GP>  SG> dynamic and I really don't know what he stands for.
GP> 
GP> How about Dole's votes for NAFTA, GATT, Brady Bill, Rifle/Magazine Ban,
GP> Terror Bill, etc.?!  Dole's voted for everything Klinton signed!
GP> 
GP>  RT> Right now he appears to be the *only* chance to beat Clinton.  I 
ure
GP>  RT> as hell don't him back in there.
I still feel this way.
Sleep well tonight, Guy....
