Take this quiz and you'll understand.

I came in between Conservative/libertarian, but here is problem, This what I get from both Lib party's, that they both believe in isolationism, they both don't believe in evil, and they would both remove the Christianity that formed the fabric of this nation.

What in the world is going on here? These people aren’t even from the libertarian wing of the GOP, let alone honest-to-goodness, according to Hoyle big-L Libertarians.

Yeah, no kidding. The supposed party of principle, though, does get something out of all of this. Think on it; They get: People. What little start power these fools have, brings in more people then the LP has gotten in years, on their own. Money. Such influx of people always brings in money for any party, and the LP is not unique here, nor are they unique in claiming that's not what they're about. Power. With added money and people parties invariably get more power from that combo. Which, apparently, is their biggest motivation, when you get down to it. So much for principle. Ask me again why I've never taken the Libertarian Party seriously.

I fixed the typo, thus making this discussion thread more interesting and effective than anything that the LP will accomplish this year.

I've always thought of Tucker as a sort of male bimbo - an immeasurably shallow brain, filling a chair and parroting whatever was whispered into his ear with no comprehension or active thought. Fielding him as the LP Pres candidate would not alter this view.

Satisfy the need for a little spotlight I suppose.
