"Michael doesn't have enough information to know whether or not the United States should be there"

At least he is able to admit he has no idea what he is doing.

I would never vote for a Libritarian ticket because of the drug issue. I have known too many people who are burnt out from grass or have moved on to other drugs that have burnt their brains. It may be costly but the war on drugs does some good.

I am in agreement with most of the Libertarian position. However, I would not waste my vote, voting a Libertarian for President. That is silly. Build a base at the grass roots level and start electing Libertarians in school boards, in city councils, then State houses and State senates. Then go on to the U.S. House and Senate, then the Presidency.

The Libertarians want all the marbles without going through the preliminaries. Their strategy sucks, as does virtually all the minor political parties.

I'll vote Bush, even though I have problems with the 'Pub agenda.

'Michael' wants violent criminals to submit book reports once a week.

Please tell me this is a joke. Somebody!

Oh well, at least he's not Harry Browne.

The LP has apparently become an irrelevant circle-jerk squadron, controlled by utopians. John Hospers must be disappointed.

Unfortunately the Libertarian Party's position on the war on terror is the same as the Democrat Party. Make sure we have plenty of body bags and arrest the guys who planted the bombs. True insanity.

This could be the reason why the Libertarian Party and Democrat Party's chances of carrying, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, North Carolina, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Florida, Oklahoma, Kansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Nevada and Nebraska are the same.

Please don't post this crapola. JimRob has already made it clear on stupid 3rd parties mucking up the works.

More recently Michael came to the logical conclusion that the baby must eventually claim ownership of ITS own body, as well.

This guy is a regular Rhoades Scholar.

What good? Drugs are cheaper now than ever before, a clear sign that the WOD is failing to stop drug manufacturing, importation or sales. But even though they're cheap, they still have a big profit margin. Their illegal status artificially inflates the price of drugs, so the providers have incredible amounts of money -- enough to work any effectiveness of the WOD into the price of doing business.

Basic economics says we will lose this war.

603 Libertarians in public offices nationwide

Whoop-dee-dar-doo. So there's some Losertarians holding county and municipal posts.

They're working on that. Much of the news on the LP site is of such small victories. I think the run for President is more symbolic and a way to get their message out.

But I don't think they can win for one main reason: The Republicrats campaign on left/right agenda issues and can get the big left/right block of votes. The Libertarians campaign on the Constitution, which spans the left and right agendas, meaning they could only get a small piece of the pie of each side.

[bobo1]

The site map would not respond to anything that is beyond Idaho, which I thought was strange. As for me, I usually vote for the Libertarian position at lower levels, unless it is close and I think that the rats might win. However, in national elections, there is too much at stake to throw a vote away.

Someone post a picture of the "Blue" guy from Montana?

[BlkConserv]

The LP is a joke, but it's on the national level. My previous post was just an FYI to the other poster. Libertarians hold important positions in city, school board, and county administration, as well as judicial positions.

The LP has some great ideas but they're too consumed with the War on Drugs, gambling, and legalizing prostitution. They're just not a viable political party. Better to stick with the GOP and keep the heat on the RINOs, than to throw your vote away to malcontents who'll cause the Rat to win.

Plus I'm still mad at Ed Thompson and the LP here in Wisconsin, who threw the race to Jim Doyle in 2002.

Bobo: Never minding the fact that the Public at large has not read the Constitution, the Federalist/Anti-federalist papers, or even have a poor grasp of history, libertarianism will remain at the fringes of society. Without a major upheaval in this present world, liberty will continue to diminish until "1984" is a reality.

Ah! to have read and understand what the founding father's would have done. I pray that someday we can develop such a backbone as they had.

My wife and I are now working out the logistics of homeschooling our kids. One thing they will learn is all the above, and learn it by heart. Since they're dual German citizenship they'll also learn the Grundgesetz, but hopefully they'll see how much better ours is.

BTW, anyone in NC who homeschools and can give advice, please FReepmail.

I think I saw this guy at the last LP convention.
