"Libertarian" party vs The Constitution Party

[rg17]

Which one is better? The Consitution Party is nearly identical to Ron Paul's beliefs, while the "Libertarian" Party wants phony Libertarian candidates and the
government involved in social issues like marriage, drugs and etc.

What is your opinion?

I like the Constitution Party. The Libertarian party sucks, although sometimes good people run on their ticket, like the Republican party.

The CONstitution sucks and the LP is an oxymoron.

Not really much of a choice between them there.

The CP's platform is worse (endorses protectionism, restricted immigration, and the war on drugs; while the only deviation in the LP platform is support for anti-discrimination laws in government employment), but in practice the LP focuses on social issues to the exclusion of economic issues, and is sounding increasingly egalitarian/SJW in its rhetoric (even if this is not reflected in the platform).

On paper the LP is better on economic policy (which is my focus), but in practice I think it's worse than the CP.

So, I'd go with the CP (reluctantly).

You're asking two different questions. Poll says "Which one is more true to the constitution?" but the post says "Which one is better?" I won't answer the poll but the libertarian party is way better.

They're both a bunch of losers.

 

[Leaning Libertarian]

They're both a bunch of losers.

Although I agree with each on certain political philosophies they hold, and disagree with each on others. I tend to agree. They only need 4.5% of the vote to be on the ballot as a candidate, and neither seems to be able to overcome this minimal hurdle in my area.

The Constitution Party is the closest thing we have to a genuine right wing political entity.
