They support theocracy so no. Libertarian party is the only viable third party, besides ron is already a libertarian.

This is how they feel about Pornography.

"With the advent of the Internet and the benevolent neglect of the previous administrations, the pornography industry enjoyed uninhibited growth and expansion until the point today that we live in a sex-saturated society where almost nothing remains untainted by its perversion. While we believe in the responsibility of the individual and corporate entities to regulate themselves, we also believe that our collective representative body we call government plays a vital role in establishing and maintaining the highest level of decency in our community standards."

Doesn't sound like limited government to me.

Like I said, I like the Constitution Party.

Let's face it, many Libertarians (like neal boortz) are pro war scumbags not unlike the GOP establishment. The Constitution Party is just fine with the federal government regulating decency what we see and hear on TV (FCC). We need a new party which fits closely with the founders' vision that Ron Paul expresses so expertly.

With that in mind, I propose an idea for a name for that new party.

The Founders' Party

i like it, im not sure if it will catch on. its simplistic but at the same time it almost feels like were "regressing" so to speak.

but i think something like:
The Republican Reform Party. and the MSM would just refer to us as the reform candidate as they do the democrat and republican candidates

i don't think we need a new party.... i think we need a new organization. parties divide people, organizations have the ability to bring people of all regions of the political spectrum together.

what we need is a moveon.org type organization or something similar to unify all freedom loving, small government, free market lovers.

we need to elect more ron paul republicans to congress, senate, etc.. we need to bring attention to destructive bills and help kill them. we need to get barry goldwater jr. on board for a 2012 run for president, we need to do lots of things and we have the people, we just need to be better organized.

You are right in so many ways. We just need a convention to appoint leaders. This of course takes place after Ron Paul gets elected.

Thoughts on various names:

Revolution Party = I used to like this one a lot, but the more I think about it, the more it sounds kind of negative, maybe even "violent" in some people's minds.

Freedom Party = Another good one, but I think it will conjure up images of "total freedom" and anarchy, with no responsibility.

Liberty Party = It expresses the same idea of freedom, but perhaps without the baggage. Liberty, to me, implies freedom + self responsibility. Plus, yes, it is close to Libertarian, and we will hope to fold most them into our movement.

The one thing the party needs to avoid is the silly bickering that goes on within the Libertarian party over very esoteric policies, like toll roads, etc.

I don't think the party should have a unified platform (collectivist style). It should just be people with a similar general philosophy about freedom and liberty. It's ok to disagree on certain issues within that philosophy. Nobody has perfect knowledge just yet.

I like the R[EVOL]UTION Party because it includes our philosophy, that fighting against state oppression via Revolution is the true definition of patriotism, and we could use the same awesome logo. Having the LOVE part means it is not violent. If it gave people images of violence then it would not be working in our current campaign.

I am amazed how all the different groups of people are uniting behind this campaign. I'm an evangelical Christian, I know there are atheists, gays, muslims, porn users, drug users and others I am supposed to "hate" (so the media would have you believe anyway) who are with me in this R3volution and I just don't care. For me, the message of Christ and the message of Freedom are intertwined. If you don't want to believe that, by all means, that's your freedom.

As for what to call it, how about "The Give The People Their *$#& Country Back Party"

Pros and Cons of established names:

I am a Libertarian but unfortunatly through some strange actions and years of ridicule, this party has lost some credibility. Year after year they choose the person who is the "BEST" big L Libertarian instead of choosing the one that is most electable. As I have said many times before, I would rather have Ron, who is probably 85% Libertarian or small L and have a chance of winning, then to have someone like Badnarik, who is a Big L 100% Libertarian but doesnt have a chance at winning. I know more ex-Libertarians because they truely believed that Harry Browne was going to win and then didnt even get 1% nationally.
The Constitution Party has a great name that draws in people because of their name without anybody knowing what their platform is. In all honesty, I dont like some of their platform but it is easier to change their platform then it is to alter the Republican platform. Plus if we as a movement were able to move the Constitution Party to a more neutral stance, then maybe once again we could attempt to get the Libs and the Constitution party to merge and make a true national 3rd party. Might even be able to pick up some of the Reform party. we could have the longest political name..... The Libertarian Constitutional Reform Party.

I know some of you dismiss the Libertarian Party because it has a 35 year track record of electoral failure. But it has a name that describes a widely recognized political philosophy. The word "libertarian" is being used more often now, and I think people are able to identify the basic idea behind it.

I was a member 10 years ago, but I got disgusted with the political squabbling that was going on behind the scenes. I was also dis-illusioned with their unsophisticated strategies, like the "Archimedes" project that was basically a membershp pyramid scheme that quickly failed. 1992 presidential candidate Andre Marrou's strategy was a classic: win Dixville Notch NH, and the rest of the country would see that a Libertarian actually won in the first precinct in the country, be instantly converted to libertarians, and elect Marrou.

If Ron were to run as a Libertarian (assuming he won't get the Republican nomination), then he should strongly encourage all his supporters to join the LP. Get some capable, credible people running it nationally and in every state. Get congressional candidates running in every district nationwide, running legitimate, effective campaigns with what limited resources we have.

No matter what route Ron takes, it won't be easy. The Establishment and mainstream media are able to smear him and his ideas, and it is tough to counteract that, no matter what the name of the party.

I think the point about needing a new organization is crucial to the future of the movement underlying the RP Revolution. I believe that within the movement lies the fertile ground from which a NEW political organization MUST grow and be developed.

Ron Paul has done a great service in this regard by bringing mass attention to ideological principles which could provide the foundation for re-organizing the social structure; a social structure which would reflect the organizational development of the living human being. Understanding the role of Freedom and Liberty is essential to our future development. As a congressman, in his wrought works, Ron Paul has practiced, has lived those principles. He is proof positive...the ideas of freedom and liberty are practical tools for life!!

Let me say a little bit of about where I am coming from. Personally I do not see the RP Revolution as a rejuvenation of the Republican Party. I think the Repub. Party should be allowed to disintegrate. IMO unless Ron Paul is the republican candidate for president, the 2008 election will do just that: end the republican party. There is maybe one thing that, perhaps, could hold it together a bit longer. Make Ron Paul the VP candidate. Now if Ron Paul was actually faced with this choice, what would he do? What would WE WANT him to do? What would WE DO with his decision? At this point in time, I would be very suspicious if the repub.party did this. I would definitely want to know the reasons. I am not so interested in seeing Ron Paul used to save the repub.party.

Not that the democratic party will be better off with an election victory. They may be even less clueless than the republicans! Is there any Democratic candidate that has an inkling of how this country got into such an economic mess and/or what can be done about it? At least the republicans have Ron Paul LOL!

The chaos that is evident in life today, has to do with the breakdown of the boundaries proper to the economic sphere, the boundaries proper to the political sphere, and the proper rights of the individual. In general, most obvious is that the economic sphere has an extraordinary influence/determines quality of life. To many in RP Revolution, it is also very obvious how the political machine/government has been corrupted by corporatism. In the sphere of the individual, there is the growing realization that the government has trampled all over our rights in the name of security, and passing all sorts of laws that restrict our activity.

For now I think the main thing is to continue to grow numbers/establish local, statewide, and interstate networks. Continue educating ourselves and those who are willing to listen. Spread the message. Vote Ron Paul. The time is coming when these efforts will bear fruit.


How about the Freedom and Liberty Party?

We are a very diverse group, and settling in one political party would be impossible. I'll use the gentleman that prefers the Constitution Party as an example. I believe it was literatim. He believes in keeping pornography off the air waves. Would a Libertarian compromise on that issue? What about the pro-choice vs. pro-life issue? Or social freedoms? See where I'm getting at? A political party, especially a new one, would do nothing but divide us. Obviously, Ron Paul puts principle over party. How this man can stand being a registered Republican his entire life? How can he continue to let members of his own party back stab him? Principles are much more important then party. While I do think there should be an effort to get Ron Paul supporters involved with the party that best represents their views, I think starting a new party would be tragic to the movement.
