Yeah I have...even if people found out they were libertarian ya think they would actually vote that way seeing how libertarian candidates usually don't get more than 10% of the vote if we are lucky.
I'm interested in the Libertarian Party but I don't know a lot about it and until it becomes a viable visible party I can't imagine it will have any significant effect on American politics.
Have you ever been to that web site that has been around for many years now, that asks questions about your politics and then assigns you a ranking? Most peopl;e who take it come to find out that they are Libertarian.
We're all libertarians at heart in that we'd like to be left alone as much as possible to make our own decisions. The problem is that 'libertarianism' is an all-encompassing philosophy of individual liberty, which ignores the fact that a society can't function that way.
We need some rules and some WILL infringe on your freedom. The debate should be on how much, NOT whether it's moral, as strict libertarians would have it.
Another promise that Mitt won't keep.I mean Romney, in the second [GOP primary] debate, said that it’s a ‘no brainer’ to build a fence across the border. Um, Alex, you’re talking about somebody right now without one molecule of brain based on his statement. Building a fence across the border would be wacky nuts! And here it is — that’s what he wants to do.
I think it helps some by pounding on the other 2. I think it shows people he isn't afraid of conflict..
So was Gary Johnson...But both the GOP and the media blacked out his primary campaign in favor of focusing on Dr. Paul, who is much easier to marginalize as a doddering old crank, than is a younger man and better communicator as Johnson.It's not about the Libertarian Party. Who cares about the Libertarian Party. At this point, it's freedoms best avenue to make change, but it's about the Libertarian message. Ron Paul is a Republican, not in the Libertarian Party.

What way? You seem to have a gross misunderstanding of what libertarians advocate. To wit:
We need some rules and some WILL infringe on your freedom. The debate should be on how much, NOT whether it's moral, as strict libertarians would have it.
Libertarians aren't anarchists. We need government and rules to protect our freedom from those who would violate it. Indeed, that's the purpose of government. It's when ambitious people want to use government toward other ends that we complain.
You always say that, but it's really unclear as to when it's permissible to regulate. I guess it comes down to your definition of freedom. Libertarians often complain about environmental regulation, but I would consider pollution to be a violation of my liberty. Is it like porn, you know it when you see it?
