Big L Libertarians may have. But the small l, limited government libertarians may be having a resurge in the hopes of taking the party back and put it on the track where it should be. George and Friends have done their utmost best to move from the premise of limited government as possible. Unfortunately for the Republican faithful none of the 'frontrunners' offer a solution to return to viable limited government. It's as if they just don't even care anymore.

Hunter championed a government that was about bossing everybody around. "It is in the interests of the United States to expand freedom," he said. "If you don't change the world, the world will change you." And, boy, did Hunter offer plans to change the world. He vowed to take on China and Iran, to continue what he viewed as a successful war in Iraq, to crack down on illegal immigration and to expand government spending on the military. He talked about "duty, honor, country" but not about liberty.

Yeah, Mr. 1% is the one for me!! < /sarc> BTW, here's a great drinking game for tonight's debate. I would suggest a drinking game thread but feel I'd probably pass out 15 minutes into the debate following those rules...

I got a bad feeling about this debate. Dr. Paul should withdraw from it - I smell some type of setup.

Actually you are vastly over estimating yourself. You are Mr .0005% at most.

Like the rest of the Libertines, you want all the rights, and none of the responsibilities, of a free society.

Unfortunately for you, the world doesn’t work that way.

"The libertarians still are committed to "less government interference" and "less centralized authority," but conservatives these days are more interested in building an all-powerful central government to wage war on real and perceived enemies at home and abroad."

I might play a different drinking game, I’ll go to the FR live debate thread and drink everytime Ron Paul is called a name, ‘kook’ for instance. :)
