My THREE QUESTION test for Chuck Baldwin.

[Menthol Patch]

Before I could support Baldwin I would have to ask three very important questions.

1) Do you support legalizing all drugs and pardoning non violent drug users?

2) Do you support legalizing victimless crimes such as prostitution in which no one's rights are violated?

3) Do you support freedom of speech to the extent that you would support the right of individuals to openly burn (as long as there is not a public safety issue) the sacred books of any religion such as the Koran and the Christian Bible?

If Baldwin answers YES to all three then I will take back my accusation that he is a theocrat and someone that would continue the war on drugs.

Will you take this test Chuck Baldwin?

 

[Menthol Patch]

Do you want my vote Chuck?

 

[Andrew-Austin]

If there were a man who could be considered the "perfect" liberty candidate, except for him not wanting to immediately legalize all drugs, then you Menthol would be stubborn enough not to support him. I'm not saying I actually care for Baldwin, just pointing out that you constantly talk about the drug war.

Almost seems like your a one issue voter at times, as if a persons right to snort coke was as important as abolishing the Fed. Well its not, so you should become familiar with the term "protest vote".

I don't think he posts here.

Good list though, I would require a yes answer to all of these questions before I would vote for any candidate.

This issue is a deal breaker. If a candidate supports keeping any drug illegal on any level of government then they do not understand liberty, and it will reflect in their other positions as well.

Will you take this test Chuck Baldwin?

1. Chuck Baldwin believes that the war on drugs should be ended, and that drug prohibition or legalization should be a state issue. A simple Google search turned up this article. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?pageId=94

2. As far as I know, he has not addressed this. However, he is pretty consistent, so he probably believes it is a state issue.

3. I don't even know how to look for the answer to that.

That's right! I will not vote for any candidate that does not support legalizing all drugs and would pardon all non violent drug users.

I take this position because I will not vote for any candidate that does not stand up for people's right to control their own body and live their life how they see fit!

Chuck Baldwin has passed half of my litmus test for a candidate. He has stated that he supports abolishing the income tax and replacing it with NOTHING. The second half of my litmus test is personal freedom.

I agree.

look... he's not going to win the election. the whole point it to just vote for a third party candidate so that it sends a message that there is a large enough group of people who are tired with the two party system. at this point, it doesn't really matter if he represents your exact ideology. if the third parties can get 10-20% of the vote, then that will tell everyone that a third party candidate can win, and then in 2012, a third party could get 40% or 50% of the vote and win. so just vote for a third party... it doesn't matter if you don't agree with everything they say, since they're not going to win anyways... just as long as we get the message out that there are people willing to vote for a third party candidate and that a third party still has a chance in this two party system.

Oh my god, baby steps people....

Ever heard the saying, if you find a perfect Church, don't join it, because it will no longer be perfect...

Not even Ron Paul is a perfect candidate for Pete's sake. Baldwin has my vote...

 

[Menthol Patch]

Hello Everyone,

I want to make something clear about the war on drugs. It is more than just a state issue. Individuals have the right to put anything they want into their own body and to live their life how they see fit. For example, I have the right to eat green beans if I so desire. The government has no right to arrest me, fine me, or imprison me for eating green beans. If my state made eating green beans illegal don't you think the federal government should get involved?

 

[Kotin]

Dr.Paul never said vote for Chuck Baldwin.. he said he is going to..


and as for the questions.. I agree 100%.

Ron Paul was 99% the perfect candidate.

He supported the legalization of all drugs and would pardon all non violent drug users.

He would abolish the IRS and replace it with nothing.

He would abolish the FED.

He would end the War on Terror and the War in Iraq.

He would defend our constitutional rights.

If Chuck Baldwin does not say yes to all of my three questions I will write in Ron Paul.

 

[Menthol Patch]

I seriously want Chuck to answer these three questions.

If he will answer these questions I will vote for him and encourage others to do so.

If he will not answer these three questions I will write in Ron Paul.

 

[Richie]

Menthol is asking perfectly legit questions, BTW. I just wanted to defend him. I wish Baldwin had made the answers to these questions more clear. However, I will still be voting for him because unlike Barr who is an ass hat, Baldwin is consistent and genuine. And he's not going to win anyway, so all it will be is a "third party vote."

Thank you. I would like to vote for Chuck because I think he is the best candidate except for Ron Paul. However, if he cannot answer yes to these three questions I cannot vote for him.

I would suggest waiting for the next Baldwin money bomb. Revolution Broadcasting has Baldwin on and has an open line for people to ask him questions.

Seems like a very self-serving litmus test.

Seems like a very self-serving litmus test.

Do you think demanding a candidate respects people's right to live their lives how they see fit is self serving?

 

[Menthol Patch]

By the way folks, I'm a Christian. I'm also from a very conservative church (when I'm able to attend). My issue is that 99% of the Christians I know would NOT support people's right to live their life how they see fit if their choices contradict their idea of morality. For example, most of the Christians I know want to keep the drug war going, keep prostitution banned, ban flag burning, ban speech they don't like, etc.

I need to know that Chuck Baldwin is willing to offend the vast majority of Christians by specifically stating he supports people's right to live their life however they see fit even if it means they use crack cocaine, prostitute their bodies, or enjoy burning Bibles and Flags in protest marches.
