Libertarian Party Presidential Nominatio :

ACCORDING TO C-SPAN, the Libertarian Party nominated Bob Barr to be the official candidate for President of America. This occurred after the sixth round of voting in the Libertarian Party National Convention held in Denver Colorado. The Libertarian Party confirmed the nomination on its website by announcing that Barr received 54 per cent of the votes compared to 46 per cent received by his opponent Mary Ruwart.

In other news from the Libertarian Party website, Wayne Allyn Root, who was also a candidate for the Libertarian Party Presidential Nomination, was selected as the Vice Presidential running mate for President of America after a second round of voting for the Vice President. This would have made for a great celebration if it were not for the fact that the Libertarian Party, as well as other alternative political parties in America, are victims of persecution and snubs by the dominant Republican and Democratic Party, in the hope that the alternative parties would just disappear. One of the examples came from the mainstream media station CBS.

The Early Show’, which is one of the programmes of CBS, has snubbed Libertarian presidential candidate – Barr. In the election segment, Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton were in the news as well as John McCain and his possible Vice Presidential running mates. Barr was not mentioned in the news segment. While it is easy to make accusations of the Libertarian Party being unable to win the mainstream networks with their decision to snub Barr prove that they are not promoting freedom. The same applies to the Electoral Commissions and the system inherent in America. The Republicans and Democrats have no authority to talk about exporting democracy when it does not practice it at home.

I would like to issue a challenge to the existing status Quo that is inherent in America and dominated by the Republicans and Democrats. The challenge is to show the world that you are indeed a promoter of freedom, democracy, and human rights by allowing the Libertarians and other alternative political parties to participate in the 2008 election debates. If you, the Status Quo, are unable or unwilling to provide alternative political parties with a platform for debates and there are only Republicans and Democrats accepted by the Status Quo, you should renounce any right to talk about freedom, democracy, and human rights and much less export your version of freedom, democracy, and human rights to the world.

The Republicans and Democrats as well as their mainstream media should practice what they preach to the world.
