Oh,,please raise my taxes Mr. libertarian demoncat.!!
Any real libertarian would recoil in horror at the candidate's answer. Terri Schiavo was an example of a libertarian's worst nightmare, a citizen being deprived of the most basic liberty - the right to life - under the full glare of national attention, and nobody acted to stop it.
a democrat by any other name is still.. a democrat!
This is only the final stage of the left-wing infiltration into the Libertarian party that's been going on for years.
Sorry fellas ... putting libertarian lipstick on a socialist pig isn't going to change the fact that it's still a socialist pig.
Libertarians---The loser party.
Actually I have affinity for Libertarian thought, but it's not like they will ever win an election for dog catcher..
The LP has been going downhill since 9/11, when the anti-war crowd became the loudest voices in the party. In 2004, they even ran a poll in their monthly paper as to whether talk show host Neil Boortz, who had previously been asked to speak at the LP national convention, should be 'disinvited' because of his pro-war stance!
I used to think that the LP had the potential to become a force to be reckoned with -- unfortunately that's no longer the case.
A Democrat is either a moron or a traitor. Perhaps both sometimes.
Excellent. This is my new tagline.
Anyone acting in accordance with the Non-initation of force, fraud, theft principle is a libertarian by definition. Democrats CANNOT, nor will they ever, meet this standard. That Republicans can't either isn't much of an issue.
Neither party has the respect for individual Rights that it should. Then again, the current LP is chock full of anti-war lunatics that couldn't find their own arses with a map and a flashlight.
Libertarians who think Republicans were wrong on the Iraq War and who accuse the government of marching into their bedrooms are S.O.L.
Libertarians have no home in the Democrat Party. If they don't want to vote for Republicans, they should become survivalists and live in the woods in a National Park somewhere.
Maybe there could be a right-leaning third party that would acknowledge that the left is the main threat, and that if it looked like the Dem was leading in three way polls, the new party would agree to tell their people to vote Republican at the last minute.
Here we go again with the Libertarian bashing, never mind that they and liberals are opposite sides of the coin.
"It might be in libertarians' best interest to ally with Democrats for this election."
What nonsense!
It might be in libertarians' best interest to plant I.E.D. in their own driveways, but I doubt it.
It might be in libertarians' best interest to chop their noses off if they don't like their own faces.
Was it in the "Libertarians' best interest" to ally themselves with Saddam Hussein?
Who is this guy?
Libertarians and 'conservatives' (and Neo Cons) have one important thing in common- a belief in personal accountability; that is why they are so often 'fellow travelers' even though on issues such as the enforcement of state defined morality and the efficacy of foreign intervention they are so at odds.
This article is from Reason Magazine.
The editor, Nick Gillespie, argues that the spread of pornography is a victory for free expression and that heroin should not only be legalized, but using it occasionally is just fine.
In my opinion, even if you agree that pornography is a victory for free expression and that heroin should be legalized, you make an ass out of yourself by making a point of supporting it.
I generally like Libertarians, but they are extremely childish.
The only thing Libertarians and Democrats have in common is childishness.
