Fare more than you have.

I support a socialist yes. I am a social libertarian. Unabashedly so. I don't need to apologize to you nor anyone for it. I'm perfectly fine and proud of my theology.

You have done nothing. Repeat after me.

You support a communist. No communist can fix this economy. Their answer to everything is more government and more taxes.

Check out when I researched the word "socialist"

Socialism; see communism.

Socialism is a religion?

Well, I guess these guys were rather like leaders of cults:

Actually, Atheism was their religion. Socialism was just the economic platform which naturally flowed from their religion.

Communism only hides behind atheism, in reality it is more mystical than some reformed branches of other religions. My early childhood growing up in Moscow just before the reforms of late 1980s felt like living in a theocracy, and I think it has a lot in common with people who grew up in very strict catholic or puritan families. That's the very opposite of the atheism I've chosen for myself as an adult.

Anyways, could we get this thread back on topic (spin off a separate thread for the "atheism vs communism" discussion if you like, and PM me so I don't miss it) - the topic is that no one but me seems to be happy that George Phillies is running.

I support Bob Barr nation-wide, but I would support more principled libertarian idealists wherever they can get on the ballot. Phillies is also far from perfect, but he is definitely more libertarian than Barr, including being "100% pro-choice" (quoted from his issues page) and consistently against all other forms of government prohibition.

George Phillies is a friggin' moron. How can a guy that has violated LP bylaws garner your vote?

Haha. I love him for it. Chaos theory.

He's a walking crack pipe

From Third Party Watch -- Two Libertarian candidates in New Hampshire? --

The following is a media release from the George Phillies campaign office:

Two Libertarian Candidates on One Ballot?

This Fall, New Hampshire voters may face a unique choice: Two different Libertarian Presidential candidates on the same ballot. While in Fall 2006 the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire chose George Phillies of Worcester, Massachusetts, in May 2008 the National Libertarian Party chose Bob Barr of Georgia. Phillies has already filed his Declaration of Intent with the New Hampshire Secretary of State.

If Barr also succeeds in getting on the ballot, New Hampshirites will have an unprecedented choice: Two Presidential candidates from the same party will appear on the same November ballot. "That's how the fine people of New Hampshire wrote their laws," Phillies explained. "The New Hampshire party collected signatures for me, not Bob Barr, who wasn’t even running at the time. Under New Hampshire law, I can't be replaced by Barr. He must qualify for the ballot on his own."

"The important question in my mind," Phillies explained, "is to make sure that New Hampshire residents have at least one Libertarian Presidential choice. The only way to make sure that the choice exists was for me to file, so that’s what I did."

How is it possible to be a socialist libertarian? The LP is for less taxes. tones
