Rick Perry downing a fifth of Jack before his speeches and debates was my favorite, didn't think there'd ever be a presidential candidate so much like Paula Abdul

Ooooooooh this is a toughie.

So many fine choices

Newtron's moon base

Richard Perry's epic brain freeze

$Willard's amazing gaffe-fest



Alright, I have to go with the right-wing media blowhards too.

Paul's staple bill to audit to fed was co-sponsored by the most outspoken democrat at the time, Alan Grayson.

Strongly against the right wing corporatist machine that is destroying america. Big business and corporate interest has no business in government.

To end all the handouts to the rich, big oil, and other large corporations.

And the list goes on,...
All those listed are based off the Self-Ownership and Non-Aggression principles. Which are the two core components of Voluntaryism. Which is basically what Anti-Statism (Anarchy) is.

So, what you are actually saying is that those core principles are actually the right-leaning of Democrats/Liberals.

Almost as funny as when Hillary,when asked why she was still in,said"Anything can still happen. Bobby Kennedy was assasinated in June".
Or when Obama lost almost every primary and caucus from April through June.
Or when Obama said he could no more disown Jeremiah Wright than his own grandmother before the PA primary.
Or when,before the WI primary Michelle Obama said,for the first time,she's proud of her country.

Libertarianism depending on the individual has alot in common with anarchism. Many stances such as legalizing marijuana, stopping warmongering, keeping religion out of government, etc,..are core liberal/democratic views.
Going so far as ending all warmongers and closing down bases worldwide, legalizing all drugs etc,..are very left stances. You can say with those views Paul is the most hardcore liberal in congress.

Legalize not just marijuana, but all drugs Well, what can you say? The War on Drugs has been a complete failure. It's lunacy to continue to spend tons of money on incarcerating people over a damn plant!

Religion should be completely out of government, even as far as taking marriage out of the hands of government and leaving it to the church alone. The government does not belong in my religion, nor does it belong in someone elses bedroom. People should be allowed to marry who they want, regardless of sexual orientation. Whether it's a sin or not for 2 people of the same sex to get married is between them and God. Some how I'm guessing that the Man upstairs has better things to worry about.

Paul's staple bill to audit to fed was co-sponsored by the most outspoken democrat at the time, Alan Grayson. It's long past due.

Strongly against the right wing corporatist machine that is destroying america. Big business and corporate interest has no business in government. Absolutely. Government of the people, by the people for the people. Not just for the corporations, or the elite!

To end all the handouts to the rich, big oil, and other large corporations. We complain about welfare, medicare, and medicaid to the poor, why should we reward these corporations for p*** poor business decisions?

And the list goes on,...

I have no problems with Paul regarding his stance with the above referenced issues.

But the principles are much more in line with Anarchism.....

Liberals champion social justice which inherently conflicts with Voluntaryism.
