Obama is Bush on Steroids. He has not reversed ANY of the Bush errors (wars, Patriot Act, etc, etc) because Obama also believes in growing the power of the federal government.

Obama just added his own new layer of government on top of the bloat that Bush added. And that's why we have multi trillion dollar deficits with no end in sight.

He is a lifetime member of the Libertarian Party and he ran for President as a Libertarian in 1988. At a Libertarian Party convention I asked him about this, he is a libertarian.

Liberman has never claimed to be a libertarian.


So, names and labels are meaningless.
The character and history of the person as an individual, says it all. Not the label placed on them by a biased opposition.


Ron Paul - 2012

So I guess it's OK to insult a non liberal group on this site? The title of this thread is a direct, intentional insult. Uetthe mods are ok with it.

The mods allow people to take offense at anything they want.

It's like, freedom, or something.

Can you be taken seriously when you use the term "teabagger" to refer to members of the tea party?

I'd vote for a bowl of steamed broccoli if it meant congress would stop making laws and spending money.

Just the fact than many of you view his ideas as radical is a testament to just how far we have gone in this country. More liberty for everyone, what a radical idea.

Plus, while he thinks the public education system, Federal Reserve, and every other big government programs are a bad idea, he knows he can't get rid of them. What he wants to do is let in more competition, and the market will pick the best idea.
