Look out - folks will expect you to defend whatever the Libertarian Party has ever said.

And the “Ron Paul once said X, Y, Z defend him or your argument is invalid and we if you do defend him you are totally wrong too”..

People keep thinking Libertarianism is a rigid political party and not a philosophy.

Hedonism is the underlying philosophy and libertarianism is nothing more than an attempt to avoid admitting you're a selfish, morally spineless, hedonist

RON PAUL is known as "Dr. No" for his voting record. He never votes for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution.

I'm sure he is WELL-LOVED by Congress [sarcasm]. The problem with that is the isolation he brings upon himself, sometimes sounding like nothing more that a self-righteous prig.
You have to make some PALS in the aisles if you want to get some of your OWN legislation listened to, discussed and passed. Otherwise you're just busting your gums for the sound of your own voice.
