  1. Fiscal republican,social democrat is on the ballot by wunderhorn1 · · Score: 1 · on Technology Issues by Candidate


    I'm a fiscal Republican but a social Democrat. I've yet to see a candidate that ever made me feel at all inspired.

    Have you seen Harry Browne??
    "Fiscal conservativism yet social liberalism" pretty much sums up the main beliefs of the Libertarian Party.


    Please do check it out, I'm sure you won't regret it, and it may even change your mind about the futility of voting this year...

  3. Re:Browne == anti-choice libertarian by Mathetes · · Score: 4 · on Politics With A Slice Of Lemon

    Actually, Harry Browne doesn't want the Federal Government involved in the decision at all. Here is his position on abortion from his website.

  4. Toward a one party system? by ronfar · · Score: 1 · on Gore-Lieberman on Filters
    Is the United States moving toward a one party system, in which there are no significant differences between the candidates from either party? People talk about Clinton's move to the center, but what they really mean is that he moved to the right. Gore is even further to the right than Clinton, and Lieberman seems (to me, anyway) even further to the right than Gore.

    I'm a Libertarian and I'll be voting for Harry Browne. I think the reason why I finally decided to become a Libertarian is because it seems like their is a growing anti-literacy lobby in this country. There seem to be people around who simply oppose to much book learning and independant thought, and there numbers seem to be growing. Has anyone ever looked at the American Family Associations Website? I think that one of the things that disturbs me most about their condemnation of Harry Potter (for example) is that he shows "disrespect to authority figures." I have heard this argument for censorship in at least on other context, in the case of the early 20th Century German film, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. The film originally had a twist ending, in which the evil doctor controlling the murderer turned out to be the head of the local insane asylum. However, German censors decided that this sent the wrong message, and forced the film makers to add a second twist ending, in which the whole story turned out to be a delusion of a mental patient and the asylum administrator was actually kindly. The strong belief in German society at that time, that authority figures should never be questioned, was one of the defenses later used at the Nuremberg Trials.

    Obviously, Al Gore and Joe Lieberman are not Nazi's, but then neither were the German censors who altered Cabinet. These censors were merely part of a system that made someone like Hitler possible.

    I'm sure that someone will point out that Reverand Wildmon, of the AFA, and his ilk are part of the right and therefore supporters of George W. Bush. I do not dispute this, I know Bush was trying to curry favor with these people during his appearances at places like Bob Jones University, where inter-racial dating was forbidden because it was "against scripture" (a low point in American politics).

    I'm glad I'm a Libertarian, I don't have to make a choice between two tickets that support censorship.

  5. Inanimate Carbon Rod? by ronfar · · Score: 2 · on 2600 Staffer Arrested During Republican Convention
    How do you compare Gore (and ecch! Lieberman) to the heroic inanimate carbon rod? Trust me, when Gore or Bush get to be president they will each inflict things on the American people. Different things, but I chose the word inflict purposely.

    Hey, if the democrats _were_ running an inanimate carbon rod, I'd be tempted to vote for it. However, despite the sarcastic comments I expect from some people that Gore and the rod could be twins, they are not.

    I'm voting for Harry Browne.

  6. He probably didn't pay for it: Supports probably by Figec · · Score: 1 · on George W. Bush buys anti-Bush names

    Actually, I think his supporters probably footed this bill under his exploratory committee. I don't think this "rich SOB" paid any money into his campaign yet: he's still figuring out if he can do his campaign without asking for government funds. George W. isn't that bad; he's at least smart enough to turn $600,000 into $14 million LEGALLY (but at taxpayer expense). All that Al Bore has managed to do is propose social agendas as a career politician. I'm still voting for Harry Browne, though.
