    Ron Paul continued. “So I always say: You can search for a long time, but you’re not gonna find anybody in the Republican or Democratic primary that even comes slightly close to ever being able to claim themselves a libertarian.”

    I think he meant "librarian". Bernie is so far removed from reality that I can see him retiring after the election and getting a part time job shelving books.

    Until the libertarian Party rejects religion as having any place in government, they'll never gain traction in the modern world.

    Far left progressives like myself and libertarians agree on lots of things.

    A libertarian does not favor socialized anything.

    The core issue is: Libertarians want more economic power for the rich. Socialists want less.

    Libertarians have some clue about how an economy works. Socialists don't.

    My friend was trying to get me to take this test which interprets your political beliefs to a plotted graph. I was trying to show him I had become more leftist in my thinking. The results came out with almost an exact match and Noam Chomsky's ideology.
    So I'm like, "libertarian SOCIALIST! Pfffft! Told you I'd changed dude!"

    A real libertarian would never register with any party.

    (quickly google who the fuck is Gary Johnson) If the Libertarian Party is appealing to economic power as you state, why can't it get major backing from big business lobbyists? Given the disgruntled public view of the 2 parties in the lead..you'd think someone with clout would actually let the public know they have a candidate....I just learned Dr. Marc Feldman is the candidate...now how many voters even know that?
