Libertarian Party?

Lots of libertarians are pro-life: www.l4l.org. Bob Barr is pro-life.

Also, as a libertarian I believe in the separation of marriage and state. Marriage should be the province of churches, not the government.

If you are truly interested in learning about the LP's positions, then I invite you to watch the candidates debate at the LP convention tonight on C-SPAN starting at 8:00 p.m. CDT.

 

I've checked it out before. I prefer the republican platform myself it's unfortunate the republican party has chosen to conform itself to a globalist platform.

 

How is the LP wasting taxpayers' money? Our candidates don't accept taxpayer funding for our campaigns or our convention. I think you are confusing us with the Republicans and the Democrats.

As for as time, it is ours to, as you describe it, "waste".

To spread the message of limited, constitutional government so that one day we may have a rebirth of freedom in the United States of America. As the old proverb states, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

 

That is correct. Not a single penny.

As I have stated, I believe in the complete separation of marriage and state. Marriage is a matter for churches.

Legal partnerships are not a matter for churches. I have no problem with people being able to organize their personal affairs as they wish through the legal system.

As far as the debate is concerned, I think that Mary Ruwart is the best speaker and Bob Barr has the best name recognition. I hope that Bob Barr wins the presidential nomination tomorrow and that Mary Ruwart wins the vice presidential nomination.

 

I don't think that taxpayers' money should be funding any particular political viewpoint, or any particular religious viewpoint for that matter.

One of the purposes for Amendment II is to protect the people from aggression by government. The right to bear arms is a right of the people, not the government.

By the way, ajg1959, I appreciate you watching the LP presidential candidates debate.

 

Personally, I agree with President Jefferson:

"Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then, be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the form of kings to govern him? Let history answer this question." - Thomas Jefferson: 1st Inaugural, 1801

 

"So the challenge for this year’s Libertarian nominee is this: There’s widespread disillusionment with both parties. Ron Paul tapped into some of that in the Republican primaries and demonstrated that a libertarian candidate could raise a lot of money. Some 15 to 20 percent of the voters — 18 million to 24 million voters in 2004 — hold libertarian views. Those libertarian voters have previously demonstrated their willingness to vote for third-party candidates. In 2006, they swung sharply away from Republican candidates, yet the leading Democrats aren’t offering much to libertarian-minded voters. Perhaps most strikingly, 44 percent of voters said yes to Zogby’s question, “Would you describe yourself as fiscally conservative and socially liberal, also known as libertarian?” So there would seem to be a huge potential audience for a Libertarian candidate who could raise money, get media attention, create online buzz, and present a compelling and articulate case for peace, freedom, and limited government." - David Boaz
