    No it isn't, the left that is applauding him today will reject him as soon as he is no longer useful to them and he is making conservatives who might have listened to our message in the long run hate and suspect libertarians.

    The more I watch his town halls the more I realize I think that he knows what he is doing. Thomas Massie and Rand Paul are perfect for Kentucky. Amash is great for Michigan. The reverse probably wouldn't hold.

    If he holds his seat, or gets a Senate seat that would be awesome. I don't think now is the time for a Presidential run, though.

    He also denies that the whole investigation was based on lies etc. and tries to imply that there were underlying crimes and that Trump successfully obstructed justice.

    He is all in on the treasonous coup.

    It sounds like he doesn't care what rights are violated as long as it is done at a local level.

    I like what Amash is doing and I'm glad Massie and Rand are staying toward the right. I think testing a left-appealing libertarian position is a good strategy, and Amash is definitely grabbing media attention which is good. If he runs for president, I want him to run in the republican primary, not go libertarian party.

    Justin is "Changing the Tone", contrary to the duopoly in power, and critical to this movement. He is young, in touch, and reaching the young generation. I applaud Justin and fully support him.

    Rand can do his thing in the senate. I remember when Rand was heavily railed on this forum, he seemed to have overcome his detractors.

    Justin has a 94% Freedom Index, among the highest in the Congress and on both sides of the isle. Instead of slitting his throat in every post that you make, he needs more of us to get behind him.

    But you are a STATIST NEOCON SHILL so that goes over your head. I do, however, appreciate many of the threads that you start.

    Wow. Welcome to 2008. I remember Conservatives in a complete meltdown when Ron Paul suggested we "invited 9/11 attacks".

    That is the FULL-BLOWN STATIST position.

    I support all people voting at the local level if that is what they wish to do. If you choose to homestead an open area, or open a business, and others in your locale also, it is up to that close-knit community to make decisions amongst themselves without state or federal interference.

    Voting at the local level does not require registering with or funding "The Fed". It brings it back to the local level where it should be, and according to the 10th Amendment.

    I understand why the Bill of Rights is being shredded though... it is not "invaders"... it is people like you who believe and support Restrictionism, Constitution Free Zones and government Eminent Domain - which are all communist/globalist agendas.

    The problem I have with Amash's position is that EVERY President has been as guilty and more so of high crimes and misdemeanors and most often War Crimes. Why die on this hill when the Russia Gate hoax was clearly a charade to get Trump to make a slip up.

    Justin: "Under the current administration spending is sky-rocketing."

    The lady around the :37 minute mark who can "think for herself"... understands NOTHING about obstruction.

    She said: "trump is all for limited government."

    Justin said: "President trump is not at all for limited government. That's just not true at all."

    The lady said: "I can't debate you on that because I haven't researched that. However he wants to get rid of the Department of Education."

    Justin said: "He's free to do so. He's the president. He's the president, he could make a move to do so."

    The lady said: "Ok, we'll just move on, this isn't going anywhere."
