When will the LIbertarians find a charismatic leader?
Q. I've been looking at past and current candidates and they just never have the charisma to win a major election. Ron Paul, who is currently running, has a perfect record and believes what he says and stands by it. However, he comes off as a grumpy old man. He doesn't have the star power that other major candidates have. Michael Badnarik, who ran in 2004, had the talking points memorized and he had a lot of passion for Libertarian ideas. However, he comes accross as a nerdy pseudo-academic. Harry Browne was a good candidate. He had a humble demeanor and also, demonstrated a good understanding of the issues. But...he came accross as a dispassionate man who didn't have enough fire to get people to rally behind him. Libertarians need a… [cont.]

Isn't it time that Nevada GOP chairman resign?
Q. What took place in Nevada is not a new concept and has gone on in the Libertarian Conventions for years. In 2004, Michael Badnarik finches last in the primaries but he was nominated by the delegates at the National Convention and was the nominee. The other canidates accepted it without complaint. So Neocons would be asking, why do this in the Republican conventions because isn't this our party and we wouldn't step into the Libertarian Party and do this? The answer to to this GOP was the original Libertarian Party and it was hiajcked by Neocons. Libertarians decided to create another Libertarian Party(the one that exists now) but it met with little success and why should we create another Libertarian Party when it was stolen from us by the… [cont.]

Question for all Ron Paul supporters about 1988?
Q. Why is it no one mentions that Ron Paul was the 1988 Libertarian Party candidate for President? I mean, he got 431,750 popular votes. He has experience in running for president. Shouldn't that be a big plus to let Americans know that by voting for Ron Paul, you are voting for a former Presidential candidate? Or would this minor detail simply haze things and make people ask themselves, "Why would he need to be the Republican nomination if he was already the nominee of another party? I mean he still has Libertarian values, his supporters always talk about him as a Libertarian, so why doesn't he just run as a Libertarian? Why is he calling himself a Republican if he was the FACE, the person up to win it ALL, for another party? Did they… [cont.]

A. Paul got elected to the Senate in Texas as a Republican. Republicans in Texas liked his opinions and positions and ideas. I don't think most of them knew he had once been Libertarian. Republicans in Texas are all very small-l libertarian, but regard the Libertarian Party as a fringe party populated by kooks. I don't think emphasizing his previous party affiliation would help Paul. Much of the trouble we're having today is because partisanship has become more important than actual ideas. So Paul's best image is as a Republican with integrity--which is in itself an oxymoron. 8^)

A. Probably because they've actually taken the time to look at the evidence, unlike the radio talk show hosts who never have the time to actually look at the thousands of pieces of evidence, but have the audacity to call us kool-aid drinkers when we don't agree. The real kool-aid drinkers are the ones who follow blindly, never questioning the government. The truth will be told!

A. You forgot Rosie, another Mensa mind of infinite proportions. You've got to be kidding. It would be impossible to keep something of that magnitude a secret. Common sense is not one of your strongest traits is it?
