Do we know the 18 states where the CP wasn't on the ballot in '04? I know Oklahoma, but that's about it.

I don't know, I still beg to differ. I think the people who voted for Ruwart would prefer to see her, but most of them are rational enough to still get behind their party. This is what I even saw at the convention, such as with Steve Kubby. Libertarians are never fully content, but they do...

They may self-described radicals, but they certainly weren't the radicals I saw at the LP's national convention.

There is no way a radical Libertarian would ever vote for Baldwin, even if they were sporting a grudge against Barr. The one thing about radicals is that they're very solid in their rigid precept of the LP, and would not sacrifice their values even out of spite. That's the reason that makes...

I thought it was just a rumor too, but this seems legit:

According to Third Party Watch, the American Independent has broken away with the Constitution Party, and will be supporting Alan Keyes for president in 2008. The AIP is the Constitution Party's claim to fame, and gave the CP the ability to call themselves the largest third party. With the...

Given that the CP's website hasn't been updated in nearly a month, it's doubtful it will happen. But what exactly do you find in the article that wasn't the truth, or that was a misrepresentation of the Constitution Party's platform?

Hahaha...I didn't get that impression reading the article. I didn't see any "cheap shots," and I can certainly understand the LP's desire to separate themselves from the Constitution Party.

But their platform states, "Finally, we oppose any legal recognition of homosexual unions." Granted, the article does not specify "government" at a specific level, but it would seem that the CP's platform says pretty clearly that "any" would mean "all" levels.

http://www.constitutionparty.com/party_platform.php#Family The law of our Creator defines marriage as the union between one man and one woman. The marriage covenant is the foundation of the family, and the family is fundamental in the maintenance of a stable, healthy and prosperous social...

Found this on the LP's website. It's a pretty impartial analysis of the two parties, which often seem to get meshed together as very similar. I really didn't know as much about the CP until actually going to their site and seeing with my own eyes some of their platform. Even as a Christian, I...

From a guy that just got back, "300 - 400" people. 1,000 would definitely be an exaggeration.

Libertarianism is an ideology that promotes reducing government. There's no other way to rationalize that. If Mike doesn't believe that reducing government across the board is the best/only answer to our problems, then he is going to have to admit to himself that there are very large...

Yah, but one man (donald trump), would only be able to support him up to the contribution limit, if Trump would even actually support him. Basically, the people that think Jesse Ventura has name recognition over Barr are those that know him as a novelty, and not as a serious candidate. It's...

If Barr beats the margins in the general elections, and sends the Republicans a message that they can't win without the libertarian vote, it'll do more for this country than 1,000 Ron Paul's would ever do. Honestly, has Ron Paul accomplished anything in his 10 terms in Congress other than a...
