					<description>At the LP STate Chairs conference (LSLA) in Florida, Mr. Viguerrie, co-founder of the &quot;New Right&quot; movement, gave a speech explaining how it was done.  It was a great talk.  He also discussed Ron Paul, explaining that in his opinion Ron Paul did not pass two key tests with his region of the conservative movement.  Your mileage will vary.</description>

Good job, Borat. You took that class in Modern American Humor, I see.&quot;

You can't come up with an intelligent response so you resort to this bullshit.  

The bottom line here is that you've made a bunch of allegations against Ron Paul which I have PROVEN to be false and you continue to repeat them.  Perhaps your most ridiculous comment about Ron Paul is that he's a mercantilist and is anti-free trade and anti-capitalism.  I posted several articles above that PROVE that you are WRONG about this yet you ignore this and continue to repeat your drivel.  This exposes you as a LIAR.</description>

					<description>I'd say that  Bill Richardson is the second most libertarian candidate in the big 2 primaries. Ron Paul would certainly be first. He is also the most Constitution-friendly.

UA, while Bill Richardson has been running his state along more libertarian principles than any other of the candidates who have been governor, no candidate has articulated a libertarian philosophy for federal government on a national stage as has Ron Paul.

Furthermore, Richardson has just lately embraced medical MJ as an issue, and seems to be doing it because the people want it rather than because of any guiding principle on the issue.

That being said, Richardson is the most fiscally responsible Dem and would probably do less damage than any of his partymates.

If the CP and the LP run complete bigots or utter fools, if Ron Paul fails to make it on the ballot in any form, if another GOP warmonger gets the nod, and if Bill Richardson wins the nomination, I might consider voting for him.</description>

					<description>&quot;But he is anti-gay, anti-woman, anti-immigrant, anti-capitalist. If I were forced to vote in the GOP primary, I would rank him 2nd to Giuliani.&quot;

Ron Paul is not any of those things and for you to keep repeating these allegation even after you are proven WRONG makes you a LIAR.  Anyone who who would rate Giuliani over Ron Paul is NOT a libertarian.</description>

					<description>Really, how familiar is the mainstream media with the LP's platform?  If you agree they're not very familiar with it them calling anyone a libertarian should be scrutinized.  Paul's been a longtime defender of the constitution.  He's no johnny-come-lately.  Just saying someone is a libertarian doesn't make him/her one.  Action's speak louder than words.  

I like his show but Bill Mahr calls himself a libertarian yet by his own admission he doesn't vote that way.  (At least not in the last 3-4 elections.)</description>

					<description>Ron Paul is generally right on war policy, so that makes him better than most GOPers. But he is anti-gay, anti-woman, anti-immigrant, anti-capitalist. If I were forced to vote in the GOP primary, I would rank him 2nd to Giuliani. Neither is Libertarian.

There isn't even a Libertarian who's actually libertarian, except Kubby.

The best candidate with even a minute chance of winning is Governor Bill Richardson. Libertarian? No. But closer than anyone else in the big parties.</description>

Giuliani may be a socially liberal Republican (a record he is running away from), but that doesn’t make him a libertarian.&quot;

Giuliani supports the Drug War.  Is that socially liberal?  Giuliani is for censorship.  Is that socially liberal?</description>

Hey Sean, don’t take my word for it, that Rudy is a libertarian. Take the word of the following media all of whom have identified Rudy Giuliani as either a “libertarian” or a “libertarian conservative” in the last few weeks:

London Times-Herald
NY Sun
LA Times
Chicago Tribune
Washington Post
Washington Times
Insight Magazine
National Review Magazine
American Spectator

Now, do a Google Search over at Blogs for “Rudy Giuliani libertarian.” You’ll see scores and scores of mailine Bloggers also referring to Giuliani as a “libertarian.”

Are you saying that all those media outlets and blogs are wrong?&quot;

Yes,  I am saying that all of these in the controlled mainstream press that are calling Giuliani a libertarian are wrong.  They either don't know what a libertarian is or they are flat out lying.  

Giuliani is for gun control.  Giuliani is for censorship (one example of this was when he banned Mixed Martial Arts events from New York City).  Giuliani is in favor of the War on Drugs.  These are just a few examples of how Giuliani is NOT a libertarian.</description>

					<description>“Ron Paul wants to end immigration.” “Ron Paul is a racist.” 

Ron Paul does NOT want to end immigration,  nor is he a racist.  Those are both distortions of reality.  

It is true that Ron wants to make it so anyone can't just waltz in and get on welfare,  and yes it is true that Ron wants to keep out people who've got violent criminal records,  but that is NOT the same thing as keeping out all immigrants.</description>
