Last Minute Libertarian Halloween Costumes

Cheers to those libertarians who will shamelessly use Halloween this year to proclaim the message of liberty to their peers. That's what I did in 2007. Pictured above, I actually dressed as the U.S. Constitution for Halloween and went around knocking on doors during trick-or-treating hours to hand out campaign literature for Ron Paul's presidential bid. It was really nerdy. And if you'll notice, the ladies love nerdy. Take note, libertarian men!

Oh yeah-- and that chocolate bar she's holding up in the picture says Ron Paul's Rich Economy. Yeah...

So anyway, this year if you're stuck for a last minute Halloween costume idea and you have a few bucks to spare, you can easily create your own libertarian Halloween costume by combining other costumes from your local Walmart, Walgreens, Target, or other such store. For instance, combine a doctor or nurse's costume with an Uncle Sam costume, and you're ObamaCare for Halloween! Add blood to taste.

For a few other such ideas, check out the libertarian Halloween costume guide I put together for Halloween 2009.

Too bad Amazon doesn't have "next-minute" shipping because Lew Rockwell linked to an awesome V for Vendetta costume on Amazon earlier this month.

Also you could get some stiff poster board from a hobby store and use a sharpie to draw a Constitution on it, then wet tea bags (awesome huh?) to stain it the appropriate color like I did in 2007. A little duct tape for the shoulder straps and you're set to go. Worked for me. And remember the ladies love nerdy.

But they also love vampires, and my vamp contacts just came in this weekend... so no libertarian messages for me tonight.

Or when people say, "Hey cool, you're a vampire." I could just respond, "No, I'm Congress and I'd like to suck the life out of you." Sigh. I'm hopeless.

Have fun and be safe tonight, friends and patriots!
