I am going have forehead scars, from all the face-palming.

For most third parties I think it would be a better strategy to support the most well-aligned Dem or Pubbie than go with a complete unknown.

The Libertarians should have rallied around Rand Paul even though he started getting squishy in order to try and get more votes. Likewise the Greens should support Bernie rather than the ever popular Jill Stein.

If a party supports someone who has a chance, they may get a seat at the policy table, rather than being kicked to the curb once again when the election is over.

Fiscal conservatism and moderate social positions would fly with a majority of voters. IMHO

I liked how McAfee put it: “Some fundamental principles are all that we need to live together in a sane and harmonious fashion. We cannot hit one another. We cannot take each other’s stuff. We must keep our word, our agreements and our contracts.”

Wow, that pretty much refutes Liberalism / Socialism / Communism.

But one problem is the liberals view “taking someone’s stuff” as a result of voluntary goods exchange and their solution to that is of course “taking someone else’s stuff”.....

Gary Johnson is half-way between big-L and little-L. It might be interesting if he ran as a Republican either against or in cooperation with Rand Paul.

During the debates, Gary Johnson seemed to be ruffling some feathers with his imperfect purity, which can be a big deal in Libertarian circles. But in an internal opinion poll of Libertarians (which can be seen here), Gary Johnson seems to be running away with it.

This could be a libertarian moment, but almost certainly not enough to win the presidency for the party. However, speaking only for myself (although I know that tens of millions think as I do), if my choices in November are Trump or either Clinton or Sanders, I will, for the first time since my first vote in the 1972 presidential race, vote for someone other than the GOP candidate and pull the lever for the Libertarian. I may even vote a straight ticket if they field a full slate of candidates.

By contrast, the Libertarians on my show talked about reducing border problems by simplifying our complicated immigration laws.

There would be fewer people in jail for robbery if we just quit arresting those nice folks.

The moronic statements in this post demonstrate exactly why Ron Paul is not president. Pot is legal almost everywhere, why are they still shouting?

If the repubs in charge went against the will of the people,and propped up a candidate who never ran.... I’d be hard pressed not to vote McAffee... who I am much more aligned with philosophically.
