[Aratus]

lets do a thought exercise... lets say RON PAUL has this here HQ press release
before, during or after the convention in SEPTEMBER and he HONESTLY says he will
not actively campaign for the presidency this november, how many of you would
write him in on a libertarian party ballot or ballot in the general election? i've even
included RAND PAUL in my above ballot, under the assumption he's a way to dodge
G.O.P jove~aspected jolts and bolts of displeasure from the "heathen" national committee!!!!

[Aratus]

huckabee who wants to run in 2012 won't run for the libertarians.
ron paul i think is a newtonian I.D person... a la ol' sir isaac!!!
josh romney is perhaps correct... there were these gold plates...
i am uncertain if anyone in my list is an atheist. at least they are deists.

[Aratus]

bob barr at times unseperates james madison's seperation of church and state?

[Aratus]

...and if i've forgotten people, some do up a new poll!

[OptionsTrader]

Voted Ron Paul and Goldwater for VP.

[Aratus]

alan keyes also is an afterthought thought!

new informal tally, ONE vote for RON PAUL!!!

[torchbearer]

you forgot Mary Ruward.

[Aratus]

Mary Ruward

Alan Keyes

RON PAUL

[Aratus]

people are voting! yay! you also can do write in votes via a keyboard!

[Kade]

You left out the single greatest candidate to ever walk this Earth, Steve Kubby.

My suspicion that many people on these boards have no idea what a Libertarian really is, is growing.

[Aratus]

Steve Kubby
Alan Keyes
Mary Ruward



Kade, yes!

[Aratus]

russell means once ran in the LP!

[Shink]

Ron Paul w/Ross Perot as a sugardaddy, and someone else as VP. Maybe Gravel, just to tempt a lot of crossover votes from Dems.

[Aratus]

i see Rand Paul as having an early lead!
will his father's write-ins be greater than
Rand Paul's votes in this informal poll???

TWO RON PAUL WRITE-INs!!!!!!!

i'd like to know if people here are libertarians or potential libertarians

Ron Paul's position on abortion is diametrically opposed to the official Libertarian Parties position. It's a clear deal breaker.

A person either agrees with Ron Paul on this or they don't. Those who fully agree with Ron Paul on this issue, can't, in good conscience, maintain their integrity while casting a vote that even indirectly supports that plank of the Libertarian Party's official platform.

I fully support all of Ron Paul's positions.

I am a staunch Paleo-Conservative Republican. Constitutional rights begin at conception.

If I were to vote across party lines, it would be for the Constitution Party's candidate. (Chief Justice Roy Moore & Alan Keyes both have good chances of being nominated)

[Aratus]

the numbers in my poll are sorta weird in terms of percentages! move over diebold!
i admit i did allow several votes as one of the options, and yes, i might do a new poll!

[Aratus]

chuck baldwin from florida and this is not the guy donald trump just fired? a new name?

[Aratus]

rand paul and barry goldwater junior just both recieved a new vote! people are voting!

[Aratus]

another vote for bob barr... people are voting!


the votes so far, a wheat from chaff experiament!

[jason43]

All right... who voted for Kusinich?

The guy is in no way a libertarian... he wants to nationalize... you know, everything.

[Aratus]

i am not talking and actually i didn't even though i sorta liked his true grit during the debates.
i voted for the nice lady who goes about in this here van, who likes to namedrop RON PAUL!!!

[Aratus]

i'd run "grannywarriors" herself if i could!

[Kludge]

None of the above ^ ^

However, if we could somehow get the DNA of Ayn Rand, Milton Friedman and Murray Rothbard together for a mergy-cloney thingy....

I'd vote for that person

[JMann]

The problem with the LP is that it is controlled by the most radical libertarians in the country. These folks would rather muddle around out of power, pointing fingers and complaining than actually trying to govern which requires the ability to moderate your views, no matter how right you think you are. The LP is in dire need of a new direction and someone that think the only way to be pure in your beliefs is to hold the most extreme libertarian views.

Many of the candidates on the list would help bring the LP more into the American mainstream but as long as the party remains in control by the lunatic fringe it will remain an asterisk in American politics and not even mentioned in government.

Leonard Peikoff and David D. Friedman?

Those two combined offer everything the previous three did...

[notcarljung]

Mary Ruwart. The greatest! next to RP of course. heh. If only she was electable..... *sighs*

[Stallion]

Josh Romney??

Chuck Baldwin is the best choice for the CP. I hope they don't give it to Keyes.

[Stallion]

Oh and why is Fred Thompson on this list??
