Libertarians are Liberals.
Libertarians care more about being Socially Liberal than they do about being Fiscally Conservative.
If a Libertarian runs a strong third party campaign, it just means that votes are siphoned away from the Republican.
This is how Obama gets his second term.
We’ve been here before.

Bill Clinton became president with 43% of the vote.

Give me a Mittens/Gingrich ticket and I'll be voting for Paul.

If there is a RINO on the GOP ticket, I’m voting 3rd Party by writing in Sarah Palin as my choice for President.

Yes, GOP should NOT cave on taxes, no conservatives are not going to back Paul.

If he runs as an independent, the three people who would vote for him will not make a difference to either main stream candidate.

That kook is a great asset to Obama. He pollutes and dilutes the GOP race. He has never had any chance of winning and never will. His only support is the same cult that always promotes him.

I’m losing faith in any GOP candidate doing anything to reverse the course we the United States is heading towards.

A third party candidate who appeals to both sides and wants to put America first would be great.

Ross Perot could have a great shot of doing this had he not got out because of threats to his family and than got back in and asked the Admiral to join him as VP.

Watched some of “Unreasonable man” about Ralph Nader’s 08 bid. In that film he talks about being threatened and offered millions of dollars to drop out by several sources because they knew it would hurt Gore.

We need to be saved and this two party, same party of nitwits don’t give a crap about anyone but their jobs.

Many of the things Dr. Paul says are appealing, but he is a better talker and conversationalist than a serious leader. He just is too much a NUT, and a dangerous nut at that. He thinks that we can get along with Iran by being more friendly to them. He is clueless on real-world foreign policy. That is dangerous, and could be fatal for America.

If the race is between Obama and Paul, I will seriously consider moving to Poland — and I do not even speak Polish! Or maybe I will go to Lithuania. Who knows.

The Republican circular firing squad continues.

So LIBERAL-tarian Paul is now trying to blackmail us into nominating him! No thanks. If it is not you, whomever we do nominate will shred Obama up and win anyway. With Paul as third candidate the GOP nominee wins by 8 points; without a third party he wins by 11 points.

Paul says he and his staff were "annoyed" by the fact that he only received 89 seconds to speak at the last Republican debate.

When he becomes a Republican he can complain. Until then he should just shut up. Why he is even allowed to attend the debates is the question.

Paul keeps moving further left. If he ran an Indy campaign, I’m beginning to believe he would pull more votes from the left than from the right. Though he would still end up with his 6-8% he always gets.

I’m happy RP has been treated this way. He is not a Republican. He’s a Libertarian who just knows his chances at an indy win are slim. This is a REPUBLICAN primary and he has no business being here!
