Gallup Finds More Libertarians in the Electorate. If enough Democrats and Republicans get tired of the status quo could this be the beginning of an actually viable 3rd party?

  • Libertarians are like satanists.

    Every one of them I talk to insists that "That last guy you talked to who said he was one of us really isn't one of us; don't pay any attention to the stupid shit he said to you."

    • That can be said of pretty much any group. Jeb Bush might say it of Chris Christie and Chris Christie might say it of Ted Cruz. Despite their input however it doesn\'t change the fact that, of that group, Cruz would be the actual conservative and the other guys are just people giving conservatives a bad name.

      I have found it useful, when defining how libertarian a person is, to ask one question. \"How comfortable are you with using aggression against someone else in order to get your way.\" The less aggression approved of the more libertarian they are.

  • All they need to do is get a viable candidate. No, Ron or Rand Paul isn't the answer. Get someone with name recognition and that isn't nuts, and we might have something.

      • That's fine, but nobody really heard anything about him. What we need is to get Cruz elected now, and then, before we let the left get up a head of steam, get the Libertarian Party lots of press, so at least there is a viable option, that has a name, face, and platform, out there that the whole electorate is aware of.
