Secondly, 99% of us who are "Republicans" are for SMALL government, me especially.

LOL...perhaps 40 years ago

The ULTIMATE goal of every, single Libertarian is the complete removal of government eventually. No controls on anything, no laws at all.

Do you really believe this? If you do, you are lying to yourself, if not, you are just plain lying

I DO have a problem with posters who say things that are blatantly untrue.

hmmm...problems with yourself, methinks

I can't see how you twist common sense, constitutionally limited government into anarchy. You seem to be exhibiting intellectual dishonesty

I listened to the same morons preaching back when Reagan was in Office. I ran a dial up BBS back in those days, in DC. It was called "AppleVenture" - and we had several political boards that had more than 1000 users from around the US, Canada and the occasional European( I know 1000 doesn't sound like a lot, but it was 1983 or so when the Libertarians started bigtime attacks).

I listened to them preach about things like "it should be ok to smoke pot in your own home".... and "Why do we have Stop signs?" and a whole LOT of other idiotic, inane postings.

So, yeah, I came into the "Libertarian" argument, probably long before many of you ever HEARD of a Libertarian or identified yourself with that group. Certainly they have toned down their rhetoric over the years but one thing remains the same, it doesn't MATTER who is in office, Democrat or Republican, they ATTACK either side equally.

They have KOOKS running for office.

They BELIEVE they will change the system (overnight) and REDUCE the DOMESTIC government quickly and efficiently, while perhaps getting rid of taxes completely.

They BELIEVE that anyone that questions them is a criminal to some degree (hypocrisy) because we can't "see their point of view".

No, Sir, I do not LIE to myself. I see things for what they really are.

Forty years ago, Republicans weren't for small government, they were mainly for ONLY BUSINESS and they didn't CARE because they could easily control government with money. My family was Democrat in those days, believed in the Constitution, gun rights, the Bill of Rights.

Over time, those same people are still there, including my Dad who is a Democrat (registered) and has precisely the same VALUE system I have. Believing in the bill of Rights, guns, etc. But he VOTES for the correct man, just as I do.

He says Ron Paul is a kook and an anarchist.

Wow. Democrats and Republicans actually AGREE on something.

I can't see how you twist common sense, constitutionally limited government into anarchy. You seem to be exhibiting intellectual dishonesty

I'm not twisting such a thing at all. I'm talking about the founding points of Libertarianism.... ANYONE who wants to work COMMON SENSE into the government is great by me, anyone that wishes to shrink government is great by me.

I already said that Paul had good ideas there, he ought to just keep his mouth shut on all the other stuff.
