I would vote Mike Gravel over Bob Barr in a WTC collapse minute.

Good for Mike. Hopefully he will help identify and then kick out all the infiltratraitors of the Libertarian party.

I bet Dennis Kuchinich is next!! Welcome all....

If Dennis came around on his socialist views and embraced a more libertarian domestic policy, he would be much more appealing as a candidate. At least he is currently half right, unlike most neocons that are 100% wrong ... Dennis only has half as far to go as most neocons...

Gravel a Libertarian? Did he renounce all his big government views?

Gravel should make a youtube video to announce he's now in the Libertarian party, but instead of making an announcement, he should just stare into the camera for an eternity and then throw a rock in a pond.

Maybe he could mix it up a little....stare at the rock and toss the camera into the pond.

I like Gravel well enough, but his political stances are hardly libertarian. I mean, look what happened to the GOP when the disgruntled Democrats came over.

But I hardly think that Gravel has any evil intention. He's apparently a pretty honest guy.

I sure hope Gravel doesn't bring socialism into the Libertarian party.

Lolz.

ANYONE can join the party for $25.

Norman Thomas could be resurrected from the dead and join the LP for 25 bucks, but it isn't going to change a damn thing about the party's platform.

For which reasons? Socialized healthcare? Direct democracy? Foreign aid to all the countries of the world?

what is everyones phobia of Barr. I've heard him speak, he seems like a great guy. Excellent on civil liberties, anti-war, and I assume small government and federalism.

A Lot in Common

And I thought he was just kissing up in this video the whole time......... the Ron Paul people here seem to give him a "thumbs up!"

The bottom line is that the man is very far from perfect, but he is at least better than the 3 dirt bags that are "top tier." Granted, it doesn't take much to be better than them. He would at least end this bloody war unlike the dirt bags. I'm not saying I'd vote for him, I wouldn't, but I do respect him. He has earned respect instead of attacks in my opinion.

Yes, me too. I just wandered over to the official site to see if there was any news there, and saw that some of them were wondering if they could join our march!

I told them to wear their Gravel gear, and come!

Did anyone ever go to the glassbooth website? You fill in little boxes and they tell you the presidential candidate that best represents you beliefs.

I did it ....and Mike Gavel came in first??? Ron Paul second. I still don't know why. I think this thing was geared towards democrats.

Anyway, try it and see what you get http://glassbooth.org/

Re: http://glassbooth.org

Ron Paul 97%
Mike Gravel
Barack Obama

I weighted the war at 15 and taxes 5, and other issues 1 each that I care about.

I agree with the order, considering the derth of decent candidates.

I got Ron Paul 74% and Mike Gravel 69%. I also got a big red statement that says Ron Paul has withdrawn from the race! Grrrrr....

 

[amy31416]

I got 91% Ron Paul, 76% Gravel and 67% Obama. I didn't get the big red statement that Paul had withdrawn though.

 

[GigiBowman]

what big red statement?

Damn. I'm 100% Libertarian...and here I thought I was Indy.

With all respect, the questions are a bit slanted toward libertarianism, but it's an interesting quiz to give to a non-Paul, non-libertarian person.

 

[GigiBowman]

Well optionstrader, I did your quiz...and apparently I'm a Libertarian :O
