2012: Year of the Libertarian?

[EnderJE]

I get the sense that neither side really wants freedom. No more medicare. No more social benefits. No more bailouts / subsidies. No more military spending. It will shake up the current economy and political environment and require an adjustment from all sides.

I'm awaiting Plunkey's comments before I make up my mind

Libertarian ideas should bleed-down into both parties, but right now the GOP is ahead of the Dems on adopting their policies in many ways (but certainly not all).

So, I'm still supposed to vote for Mitt, right?

Mitt seems like he will keep this bullshit war economy going to me.

The idealogue in me likes Ron Paul.

The pragmatist in me likes Mitt.

The rationalist in me knows the only truly wrong answer is Barry.

So at the end of the day, I've got to break for Mitt. But I don't have to like it.

does ronnie attract you because of his seething racism and homophobia??@!#!@#
i predicted this shit was going to happen, that he would get the label of racist, and i was right.
big read about his hatred in the nyt today, and the commenters were eating it up...such a predictable way to derail someone's politics.
i've completely lost my sensitivity to allegations of racism like the boy who cried wolf mostly pandering BS!

/agree

They've abused the race card horribly. Being a real racist is a career-ending move, as it should be. A false accusation of racism should be an equally career-ending move.

If that is all they have to go on, that is pretty weak. I am sure they have more bullshit to "expose." There could be a third party candidate I'm sure too. Maybe someone with similar views at Ronaldo?
