And David Ruprecht (who himself is a Libertarian) has said that Libertarians support lower taxes and smaller government (and they're walking the walk, unlike the Republicans, who are only talking the talk; they claim they support lower taxes and smaller government, but fail to deliver).

I'd rather have George Bush 3 than karl Marx 2 as well but I'd also be a lot happier putting up with Karl Marx 2 for just 4 years so people really understand just how bad it is and then make a radical shift in ideology in 2012 and go with somone who actually believes in small government. I'm voting Bob Barr and yes I know he won't win but the long term effects outweigh what will happen if there is NO party running on a small government platform for a lot longer than 4 years.

I agree with you but wouldn't call it the "radical right". I'd go with "the new big government right" or "neocon" for short. I'm hoping Barr gets a nice piece of the vote and they blame him for the republicans losing badly. Maybe just maybe (though I doubt it) the neocons will realize that they're not going to win if they want to be a pro-big government party.

actually McCain was proven innocent in the Keating Five Scandal. The Democrates who ran the investigation say he had nothing to do with the scandal. But go ahead and keep grasping at straws.

McCain's other bailout scam came to be known as the Keating Five Scandal.McCain should have gone to prison for a long time for his part in it.Charles Keating paid about $1.3 million to various U.S. Senators including Senator John McCain to help him resist regulators intent on protecting the people whose money Keating was embezzling.The regulators backed off to disastrous consequences.McCain was fortunate to have enough clout to stay out of prison.

I pretty much have to vote for John McCain. I'd rather have George Bush 3 than Karl Marx 2.

I'd rather have a Barr-Paul ticket..sure, they may have been Republicans (Paul still is Republican), but they're concerned about the direction of their party. The social issues have driven the party further and further to the radical right.

I checked Barr's site, he's leaving the Marriage and Abortion issues up to the state. He himself was a former Republican that was author of the DOMA, and now he's realized his party has gone in the wrong direction.

It's time for Republicans to go sit in a corner for a term or two. They will have time to purge themselves of these neocon fanatics and those closer to Ron Paul will inherit the Party. Ron Paul and Barack Obama, two men of integrity and conviction, could have a real debate about America's future. McCain is a pathetic joke. |
