Which party best represents "Libertarian" values?

[shockedcanadian]

I have never liked narrowly defined political membership. However, in the opinion of those on this forum, which party; the Democrats or Republicans better represents the classical "Libertarian" view?

 

[Si modo]

Neither. But, my experience is that you will find more libertarian views in the GOP than in the Dems.

 

[Oddball]

Neither...That's why there's a Libertarian Party.

 

[Dissent]

Neither. But there are Libertarian minded people in both parties.

Neither... Or... The same. I mean they SAY different things... But they both DO the same things... So ... No difference.

Edit: Well... Damn... I should have read the whole thread first and not typed out anything.

True... However I would speculate that the majority of those people won't be voting for Obama or Mitt this year... Which... Hurts republicans.

If you have to ask just do us all a favor and join the democrats

 

[flacaltenn]

We've got DEMs here in Tennessee that are to the right of GW Bush.. And I agree -- you'll find Libertarian views in both camps.

In particular on foreign policy and use of military force -- there's not a ounce of diff. Same on perfecting the BASIC functions of govt -- like enforcing immigration, ensuring honest and accurate elections and following the Constitution.

Until we have parties based on PRINCIPLE and consistent PHILOSOPHY --- it's a Coke vs Pepsi type of choice.

 

[JWBooth]

None of the above.
Each is equally closer to Mussolini's fascists than to the libertarians.

And that is one of the reasons why... LOL

Help your party out man... go you.

Libertarians are not left nor right, they are their own breed.

In Practice Neither, In theory Republicans.

Libertarians are absolutely on the Right of the Political Spectrum. You just don't understand it, Which you prove all the time by calling people like myself "Far Right"

lol

AND ---- that's why I don't support REP/DEMs anymore... Grandpa would sooner HANG us than try to get our vote.

Since i found out that James Carville and Mary Matalin were "doing it" on the campaign trail in 1992, I don't take mediocrity for an answer.

The ultra partisian warriors laugh all the way home about how gullible Americans are about Political Parties.

Support whomever you like. Im not running for anything so I really dont give a shit about your vote. Especially considering you would say something so fucking stupid.

I will be voting for Mitt, and my main views are libertarian, in the Ayn Rand sense of the party.

Libertarians are not left nor right. There are many faux libertarians like yourself that think they are right on the political spectrum.

If you ask a real libertarian what they think about Obama, they will tell you he is a piece of shit. Then when you ask what they think about Willard, they will also tell you he is a piece of shit.

Like I stated before, libertarians are their own breed that think both the democrats and republicans are trash.

In rhetoric republicans are libertarians...In practice, they're lolberal democratics.
