Why is Gary Johnson listed on the lp.org website? He does not meet two
of the announced criteria. He is listed on the FEC Website as a
Republican Party Candidate for US President, NOT as a Libertarian
Party Candidate for US President, thus violating two of the four
rules.
http://www.fec.gov/press/press2011/presidential_form2nm.shtml
http://www.lp.org/blogs/staff/2012-libertarian-presidential-candidates
He has NOT filed to run for president with the F.E.C. as a Libertarian
and he is NOT Seeking the nomination of the Libertarian Party
exclusively. His "contact information" is weak. He just joined the
Libertarian Party last week and then only because he is failing to get
the Republican Party Nomination, whereas I first joined the New York
Libertarian Party in 1973 and I have never been a member of nor have I
ever sought the nomination of any political party other than the
Libertarian Party. Why is Gary Johnson, an interloper, a "serious
candidate" and I am not?

Sam Sloan has been removed from the Libertarian Party website as a
candidate for US President and Gary Johnson has been added. Also, two
new criteria have been added specifically for the purpose of keeping
Sam Sloan out.

This does not show an error by the FEC at all.
Gary Johnson filed as a Republican Party Candidate for US President on
May 2, 2011.
Here is his signed filing.
http://images.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/fecimg/?_11030601856+0
Has he ever announced that he is no longer seeking the Republican
Party Nomination? I have seen no such announcement.
Now that he is obviously not getting the Republican Party nomination,
a few days ago he joined the Libertarian Party and filed an unsigned
AMENDED petition stating that he is now seeking the Libertarian Party
nomination.
The newly announced rule states that he must be "Seeking the
nomination of the Libertarian Party exclusively". Do you seriously
contend that by filing this amended petition he has complied with this
rule?

That they have an error in their big list of candidates (http://
fec.gov/press/press2011/presidential_form2nm.shtml), still showing him
as a Republican, is only one more piece of evidence that government is
thoroughly incompetent -- not that Johnson has failed to register with
the FEC as a Libertarian.
Johnson meets all of the lp.org criteria for being listed. I
won't go into the reasons why other candidates aren't listed. Just
wanted to correct this huge error, sent to so many people, claiming
that Johnson does not meet the LP criteria.

Sam wisely wants to make sure he doesn't spread himself too thin.

But I would vote for Mr Sloan if I was able to vote!
Victory to Sam!

create a sort of reverse Manchurian candidate scenario the likely
upshot of which is that the real Sam Sloan ends up assassinating
himself by mistake and the fake Sam Sloan republishes the book by
Richard Condon - violating that novel's copyright, as well as the
copyright of Robert Graves' I Claudius, from whence the Manchurian
Candidate was plagiarized - which is then made into a movie in which
Gary Glitter revives his career by playing both Sam Sloans.

I thought you were pulling our collective leg, but checking various
sources online I see that the charge was made in earnest and has some
basis. Apparently, though, Condon just took the odd sentence or two
here and there, and borrowed from other sources besides Graves' novel.

"Johnny knew in his superstitious heart of hearts that his marriage to
Raymond's mother was an impious thing and this knowledge, it seems,
affected him nervously, putting an inner restraint upon his flesh."
This was lifted, with minor additions, from a passage in "I,
Claudius" describing Augustus' lack of sexual interest in his wife
Livia:
"He knew that the marriage was impious: this knowledge, it seems,
affected him nervously, putting an inner restraint on his flesh."

Claudius, though one of the more benevolent and responsible of Roman
rulers, was quite autocratic, authoritarian and occasionally ruthless,
and not at all the gentle small-r republican Graves portrayed. Hadn't
heard about the crucifying children bit, though.
More about the plagiarism can be read here:
