Didn't Beck even move to Texas recently? Haha. He copies everything Jones does...

There's a reason he's (self-proclaimed) in the "one percent" and proud of it. ;)

It's hard to get fired up over Romney or the RNC. Most people were just there because they hate Obama. Haha

They seem to be having more fun with more passion. Less straitjacketed, if you will.

No, I didn't say that. I might even vote for Gary Johnson, who knows. I merely stated the fact that he will garner less than 1% of the vote, and there will be no "building" on his run, just as there wasn't for any of the previous LP candidates, some of whom had more name recognition than GJ...

It's not so much a "personality cult" as the true fact that Ron Paul has built up more goodwill and name recognition than any libertarian maybe ever. Almost everyone knows and likes Ron Paul, and it will be difficult to build up that goodwill and name recognition elsewhere.

Lighten up, Negative Nancy. Your posts are awful. Don't you have something better to do?

Well looks like they'll get 0.45% of the vote again and then be on their merry way...almost halfway to one percent. You can do it!

Great letter! Sums it up well.

My point exactly.

RP endorsed Chuck Baldwin in 2008. Baldwin received 0.15% of the vote, or just over one-tenth of one-percent of the vote.

Everyone now knows the name Ron Paul. No libertarian has ever been so popular. Many people barely even know the LP even exists. This is the LP's one big chance to give itself a boost and maybe even get into the debates. Otherwise, the LP will continue to wallow in infighting and 1% annually in...
