Ron Paul, with the help of Bob Barr, is lowering Libertarianism and its proud history into a cesspool of laughter and derisive dismissal by voters working to really improve America. Paul has asked people disappointed by the Republican Party to vote for 'principled candidates' such as Ralph Nader and Cynthia McKinney. Huh? Paul is a one man wrecking crew for small government.
Paul: Vote third party
Ron Paul is set to urge Americans to vote third-party candidates for president, including Cynthia McKinney and Ralph Nader.
Ron Paul's refusal to endorse John McCain, his urging to support Nader and McKinney and his 'different drummer shtick is exactly that, shtick. He has no desire to improve America unless, as a doctor, he thinks creating more abortions will eventually make abortion go away.
I have many times been told my views are Libertarian. They may be, but I am most assuredly not. I work for real change which has been difficult these last 8 years of Republicans acting like drunken whores in Tijuana with my checkbook. Real change happens through hard work within the party system, not taking potshots from the sidelines for personal gratification.
I strongly believe in one man, one vote and the two party system. All this third party crap is tried over and over in again in undeveloped countries and old world past their importance countries too tired to actually move forward in a positive manner. You don't win in the arena of ideas by losing. You don't cure the ill by killing them. Anyone who tells you that is, well, a Libertarian.
I have noticed in the press that Ron Paul leaves out Bob Barr when urging voters to vote for 'principle candidates.' Maybe Bob and Ron are having a tiff over ownership of "The Libertarian Cookbook" savory Snipe recipe. Whatever, no amount of Thyme will improve it.
