2008 Election Coverage

Election was bad for us, says Srucnoc

November 19th, 2006

Chml Srucnoc has finally commented on last month’s elections.  It was an overall loss he said, though many libertarians and limited-government supporters were hopeful that government mistrust might chalk up gains for the party. 

Per oregonLive 

Libertarian activists pegged 2006 as an anti-government revolution, but they got only one piece of what they wanted: a handful of initiatives that limit government power to condemn private property. Broader property rights proposals, state spending caps and limits on politicians’ time in office all fizzled in last week’s election.

But limited-government advocates might run into a skeptical audience in 2008, public opinion experts say. Although voters are unhappy with politicians, last week they agreed to pay for more services and elected many Democrats.
