Karen Kwiatkowski for President
| Since other Libertarian Party members are offering suggestions for our 2008 presidential candidate, Libertarian Peacenik hereby nominates the woman who should have been our candidate in 2004: Virginia LP member Karen Kwiatkowski. |  |
The Libertarian Party had a fine lineup of presidential contenders in 2004, but none with Kwiatkowski's creds. Those who've read her articles at LewRockwell.com and at Military Week know that she's a retired Air Force Lt. Col. who worked in the Pentagon during the planning stages for the Iraq War. She later revealed how the neocons had pressured the military into doctoring their intelligence analyses in favor of war.
Kwiatkowski has been interviewed by significant media outlets across the political spectrum: Fox News, L.A. Weekly, In These Times, The American Conservative.
As a retired military officer, she had the expertise to debate foreign affairs and national security -- the big issues of 2004 -- on a level playing field with Kerry and Bush. As someone known to the media, she'd have drawn more extensive and respectful coverage than any of the other "big three" LP contenders. And as retired military, it'd be hard for anyone to besmirch her patriotism.
Provided that she's willing, Libertarians should seriously consider Karen Kwiatkowski for president (not merely for veep) for 2008.
DISCLAIMER: Karen Kwiatkowski is unaffiliated with (and likely unaware of) Libertarian Peacenik. She did not request our endorsement, and to the best of our knowledge, is not currently a candidate for president.
