By a mile and a half.

Ron Paul continued. “So I always say: You can search for a long time, but you’re not gonna find anybody in the Republican or Democratic primary that even comes slightly close to ever being able to claim themselves a libertarian.”

I think he meant "librarian". Bernie is so far removed from reality that I can see him retiring after the election and getting a part time job shelving books.

Until the libertarian Party rejects religion as having any place in government, they'll never gain traction in the modern world.

He's the only candidate left who is against the drug war right?

Far left progressives like myself and libertarians agree on lots of things.

 

[Denny Crane]

A libertarian does not favor socialized anything.

The core issue is: Libertarians want more economic power for the rich. Socialists want less.

Libertarians have some clue about how an economy works. Socialists don't.

 

[Denny Crane]

Libertarians want more economic power for EVERYONE.

My friend was trying to get me to take this test which interprets your political beliefs to a plotted graph. I was trying to show him I had become more leftist in my thinking. The results came out with almost an exact match and Noam Chomsky's ideology.
So I'm like, "libertarian SOCIALIST! Pfffft! Told you I'd changed dude!"

So why are there only 33o,811 registered Libertarians in the country?

A real libertarian would never register with any party.

I register independent, vote Libertarian.

Gary Johnson, LP candidate in 2012 got 1.2M votes.

(quickly google who the fuck is Gary Johnson) If the Libertarian Party is appealing to economic power as you state, why can't it get major backing from big business lobbyists? Given the disgruntled public view of the 2 parties in the lead..you'd think someone with clout would actually let the public know they have a candidate....I just learned Dr. Marc Feldman is the candidate...now how many voters even know that?

Ron Paul got 1.2M votes in the 2008 primaries.

I don't state it's appealing to economic power.

Libertarians don't like welfare, corporate or otherwise.

about enough votes to win mayor of Portland

 

[Denny Crane]

Feldman is running for the nomination. The convention is in May.

He cut his run short. He may have gotten 20M if he stayed in for all 50 states.

Moron voters don't want to "throw their vote away" on any 3rd party candidate. Even if they're a democrat voting in California, or a republican voting in Texas.

 

[barfo]

I thought Marty Feldman was dead?

He does look a lot like Rand Paul, though, so maybe he just became a senator.

Damn, too bad Cruz reminds me of the politician in the movie "the dead zone".

Left wing economics gave us a $20 trillion debt. Success!

The US pre 1930s experienced awesome growth and wealth creation. 13 states grew to 48. 90% of the people fed themselves and did quite well. Plenty of homestead properties generated wealth for the masses. Entrepreneurs built railroads, steel mills, oil pipelines, electricity grids, etc.

Post of the thread? Not.
