The Communist party has never won a major election in this country either,
but every item on their prewar platform is now considered mainstream
Democrat. The Libertarians do not need to win a major election, they need
to be enough of a political force that the Conservatives accept the
Libertarian platform of small, fiscally responsible, Constitutional,

Unfortunately the Libertarian platform consists mostly of wishful
thinking and pipe dreams.
They just don't have enough converts.
There are too many who have been trained to expect the government to
take care of them and are willing to trade all their
freedoms for a government dole.

I think it is a Clinton boondoggle, since it is a result of Clinton policies
that resulted in driving most domestic vaccine manufacturers out of business
and so much of today's vaccines being made overseas.

Who likes war? The cannon factory and gunpowder manufacturers?
If Clinton hadn't shirked his responsibilities, there would never have
been a reason to invade Afghanistan.
Procrastinating and appeasement is what leads to wars. Even the dumbest
among us should have figured that out by now.
Lord knows there are plenty of examples in history to make the point.

I went to a concert this summer (Sugarland - great show, but could have been
longer than 90 minutes), and while I was surprised that they had no problem
with cameras, phones, and recording devices, none of the other things on
that list would have been permitted. My surprise at the acceptance of

The thing I feel worst about with last year's election (from a personal
perspective) is that it is the first time in almost 40 years that I did not
vote Libertarian. I knew exactly how bad 0bama would be for the country,
and convinced myself that voting for the "lesser of two evils" would be OK

While I could not support Ron Paul in the Republican primary (I believe in
national defense), if he had been the Libertarian candidate, I could have
supported him in the general election. Bob Barr was actually, a
conservative Republican, not a Libertarian.
And thinking of Ron Paul, I saw his son, Rand, on TV yesterday. He is

Did you speak out when Clinton was doing it in Bosnia and Kosovo? I
don't recall that.
BTW, the Marshall Plan funding the recovery of Europe after WWII was
nation building and was hailed as a brilliant idea.

I think visiting all these medical facilities has finally resulted in my
picking up the H1N1 flu bug.
I felt really crappy yesterday and with just having my heart rhythm
restored on Wednesday, I was concerned that a high fever and poor lung
function
would affect it and maybe cause it to revert to atrial fibrillation again.

McCain's statements (summer 2008) that the "economy was fundamentally
sound", when "everyone" knew we were already in a recession hurt him.
I agree that this famous misquote hurt him, but what he actually said
was: "You know, that there's been tremendous turmoil in our financial

Frank, that is what I call voting to send a message since the
Libertarian candidates to date have had absolutely no chance of
winning. My friend bill suggests that isn't the "correct" way to
vote.
Heck, I am not sure what is the "right" way to get my voice heard and

McCain was the worst qualified of the candidates in the Republican
primaries. The country would have been much better off if Thompson,
Giuliani, or Mitt Romney had been the candidate. And while I disagree with
him on issues of national defense, Ron Paul would have been the best for the
economy, and the long term health of the country. Only a RINO or a Democrat
