Is The Libertarian Party the ONLY party in the USA that makes sense?

[FreakMonster]

Democrats are socialist, plain and simple. Democrats love high taxes and complicated government regulations. Democrats love government, they see it as a tool to better the world, but in the process they make everything much worse. Democrats are basically puppets for trial lawyers, unions, and Communist China.

Republicans claim they want small government and less regulation but they are constantly increasing the governments size and scope. Republicans are puppets for various businesses. Republicans refuse to end our meddling in the worlds ethnic and religious conflicts, which causes TERRORISM and death of innocent Americans.

The Libertarian Party is 100% based on prinicipal, and has no one pulling its strings behind it. Its stands for -

- Individual Liberty and Personal Responsibility
- A free-market economy of abundance and prosperity
- A foreign policy of non-intervention, peace, and free trade.

Sounds pretty good to me. Is that the same party as Pat Buchanan ? Sorry if I'm mistaken but just wondering....

buchanun is ultra-conservative. The libertarian candidate is Harry Browne. I think he got like 1% of the vote in 2000.

Libertarians are unrealistic IMO. I think the country would fall apart with no regulations or subsidies.

It's already falling apart. So whats the difference? The two parties so far have done nothing but fail, so we might as well give someone else a chance.

Actually, Buchanan is not "ultra-conservative", but closely related to Browne in principle. I think the two would differ mainly in drugs and immigration, but Buchanan has stated that the US needs to stop acting as an empire and act as a country.

Why would the country fall apart? The Libertarians are based on the Jeffersonian ideals, which were a major force in the early years of America. I don't remember the early America falling apart and having to be rebuilt under a modern Democrat or Republican rule.

it was probably an uneducated response on my part. I keep thinking libertarianism is a weak form of anarchism. In anarchism, there are still strong people controlling shit, they just aren't controlled as much (i.e., less corporate regulations) for doing so.

Reading the www.lp.com website, some of the ideas are good. THere should be some way to test these ideas on a small scale (county or city wide).

Lets take over a state and run the tests there. I got the guns, you can pick the state.

I think that this is an image that has been perpetuated by opposing political parties, to deter people from listening to their ideas.

As for "controlling parties/people", I think that this is an inevitability of all governments. How does one prevent powerful people from influencing outcomes and agendas? I don't think that has ever been answered and therefore can't be totally prevented.
