Full disclosure, i'm a democrat so you couldn't pay me enough to be part of the libertarian party, but I think I can help ya'll with growing your party.

1. Get rid of all the tin-foil on my head idiots, or atleast put them on mute. It's make your party look way to extreme and looney tune. If you listen to some of the wackos on here, you'd think the US is going to turn in a 3rd world african country in 4 years and that our country will be ranked somewhere between angola and mexico. This crap about freedom needs to stop. There may be rules you have to follow, but you guys make it seem like government tells you when to take a ****. republicans are dealing with the tea party extremist and that will soon blow up in their face.

2. This is the most important. Please stop with the condesending statements that the majority of society is brainwashed, want to be controlled by a nanny government, that you guys are just so much smarter then everybody because you don't vote for either party. insulting people usually isn't the best way to advance your party. Republicans have done this to minorities for decades by calling us brainwashed and lazy, and on a democratic planatation, and then every 4 years I see articles talking about how they can't get the minority vote and have to come up with bogus voter id laws to suppress the black vote because they have turned us off to their party.

I'm fully aware you guys will just dismiss what I just wrote and call me an idiot and a sheep to the democratic party, but keep this is mind, in 4 years, you guys will continue just to be as irrelevant then, as you are now if you continue with what you are doing.

You mean kinda like the tin-foil on the heads of Jefferson, Franklin, Adams and all the others that were far too radical and unconventional for the Tories? I get reality in HD with my tin-foil, by the way.

Please do not give these lunatics any practical advice. I suggest you Libertarians keep following the true believers you worship. Remember Ayn Rand revealed the true path to freedom and wealth. You should concentrate on self gratification, greed and belief in Mammon. they will take you far.

The principles of Libertarianism was around way before Ayn Rand. They are predicated on the writings concerning Liberty and direction in which the nation should go. There was much difference in opinion on that direction - but that is the basis for libertarian thought - not Ayn Rand.

Quite so. Ayn Rand has her place, but libertarian thought in America is hardly her invention--and in fact, she rejected the label.

Henry David Thoreau was as much a pioneer of libertarianism as Rand.

You mean like the government telling you when to die? Nanny state? 20 oz. coke? Yeah, I'd agree.

Considering both parties have had a hand in destroying the middle class, becoming a 3rd world country may not be too far off!

Ahh, but Libertarians are NOT Republicans! And yes the Democratic policy as of late is to increase the size of the government and have more people on the government dole! Not to mention there is a nanny state when the government "thinks" they know what is best for you, about what you put in your body or what you do in the privacy of your own bedroom!

I'm fully aware you guys will just dismiss what I just wrote and call me an idiot and a sheep to the democratic party, but keep this is mind, in 4 years, you guys will continue just to be as irrelevant then, as you are now if you continue with what you are doing.

And you couldn't be more wrong! More and more people are waking up! Ron Paul may not win, but he set the movement in motion!
