Harry Browne isn't about the "bling bling". He's a wealthy investment banker and doesn't need the money. Unlike socialists like the Republicans, Democrats, and Green party who begged for federal matching funds, Harry Browne is the only candidate in American history that qualified for federal matching funds and refused to take them on principle because it would make him just as corrupt as the other parties.

And for your information the Libertarian party is the fastest growing party in America, has more members in elected offices than all other third parties combined, and isn't linked to special interest groups like those other parties. Also the major two parties are shrinking as more and more of their members wake up to the reality that there's virtually no difference between Republicans and Democrats. Both attack our civil rights. Both increase the size, scope, cost, and intrusiveness of government.

Harry isn't running because he's getting a little old to do it again. His showing at the last election is hardly representative because many people crossed party lines to make sure GWB didn't get elected only to find out the election was fixed by Jeb.

There are plenty of great Libertarian people who would make a better president than any in the last 100 years. I like Bill Masters a lot and would love to see him run in 2004 or 2008.
