[Lnc-business] Past nominees

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

I'm not a truther/ mainly  because it would give the state more credit for
organizational skills than I think they have.

But why would we consider doing this and are not equally concerned about
actually unlibertarian comments (rather than this which really is not an
issue of libertarian principle) from other past candidates that are more
recent and volatile?

Because he left the Party?  It would be different if he stayed?

I'm no fan of the gentleman in question but this seems to ... I don't want
to use the word hypocritical because I don't want that directed at Joshua's
person.  But if we took this action to separate ourselves out from a 2008
candidate and not much more recent issues then  we certainly would be.

Do we want to have people start up again with "bake the cake" or no fly
lists (much more likely to affect everyday people)?  Because this is how we
do that.

I would rather us put out principled statements on all of the above issues,
but not pick and choose politicking.
