For most libertarians it seems all about easy drugs, not about ending all welfare, Medicaid, etc.

Seriously?

My same feelings. I guess I may not be a Libertarian (sp). I want the government to have some power for the good of the people but, not to exercise it so much. A pipe dream, I guess. Ron Paul makes me nervous.

I beg to differ. I am not a Ron Paul supporter or a Sarah Palin supporter. I would not vote for McCain because I didn't think she was right or ready to, in case, assume the role of potential President. But, I haven't seen such over the top behavior out of her supporters. What reporter/jounalist rents a house next door to a politician to try and get dirt on them.....? And the result a lot of just smear stuff.

I think your bias is showing......

I meant if I voted for McCain with Palin as VP, she was in line for the Presidency if something happened to a man 70 years old.

I think I said what makes me nervous. I don't want to completely dismantle all programs with the Federal government and I darn sure don''t want open borders. We are colonized enough already. There are other things that I would have to go back and research and I don't have the inclination or time right now.....should be working.. stealing company time.... I will try and come back to it later.

It is easier than that, now.


I get it delivered for the same price.

Kids can get drugs all on their own, easier than they can get alcohol.

Notice its the ones with female names. Who goes onto a political forum looking for dates except those that live in their moms basement?
