Obsidian Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Seriously, Pong? How can you take Libertarians seriously? Not only their absurd naivety, but the fact that they support economic policies that enable many of the very things they oppose (such as the Drug War. Who do they think benefits from stronger Drug penalties? The weapons manufacturers who make the arms used to fight the "Drug War', and the corporately owned prisons that benefit directly from having more people in jail, and thus push for stronger and stronger anti-drug laws, so that they make more money by housing more inmates. Private prisons that exist thanks to libertarian 'free market' economic policies), and yet aren't self aware enough to even realize that fact. I cannot buy what they are selling, no matter what.

NumberSix Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 each time I see the name Jill Stein this little jingle rolls through my head: Jill Stein the science gal I keep confusing her with Ben Stein, another grey-haired Jewish New Englander. why is it that other presidential candidates aren't allowed in the debates? That doesn't seem fair at all. Hey, at least Jill Stein tried to attend the second one. Didn't we already do this in another thread? We? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pong Messiah Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 Seriously, Pong? How can you take Libertarians seriously?I take soft libertarians seriously when it's at the federal and executive level. And if you remember, I actually gave Joey and Ryn crap about Johnson when he first entered into the discussion, because I wrongly assumed he was sort of toll-road, potheaded, dogmatic free-market-solves-all freak you typically get with libertarianism. But he's not. If you look at his record as governor of New Mexico, he clearly thought the government had some useful purpose for people, which he supports. And he helped to improve the efficiency of state programs while vetoing pet pork to the tune of a billion dollar surplus. The guy's not a freak, he's a supra-genius!

I still find it hard to justify his membership in the Libertarian party, however. Johnson may be a rational person, but it doesn't change the fact that his party is as full of nutcases as the big Two are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Letsgo_7_7 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Results make sense- in an ideal world, I probably agree with the Libertarian party more than the GOP, though the reasons I agree with them are completely different than someone like Joey. I'd vote for them if they had a viable candidate and I wasn't a member of the GOP. Plus the poll accurately reflects my siding with the paleo-con/Old Right from time to time (though the Constitution Party itself is too bible thumping for me). The party alignments are closer to how I actually side most of the time, though I probably vote Democrat more than 16% of the time. Also... I love how I'm pretty much the complete opposite of Frex, just as I expected. I'm in DC, so I can't see how I compare to NY voters. Anyone know how to change the state? Kinda annoying. Candidates you side with... 94% Gary Johnson Libertarian on economic, domestic policy, healthcare, and environmental issues 91% Mitt Romney Republican on domestic policy, economic, environmental, and immigration issues 78% Virgil Goode Constitution on economic, healthcare, environmental, and immigration issues 56% Barack Obama Democrat on science, environmental, and social issues 11% Jill Stein Green on science issues 2% Rocky Anderson Justice no major issues 51% Virginia Voters on domestic policy, science, environmental, immigration, and social issues. 55% American Voters on domestic policy, economic, healthcare, science, environmental, immigration, and social issues.Show all candidates Parties you side with... 91% Republican 67% Libertarian 34% Green 16% Democrat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, okay, gotcha. Yeah, I suspect the editor of that Jewish site couldn't decide which of two headlines was more important, "Presidential Candidate Arrested Outside Debate" or "One of Ours is Running for President!", and just split the difference.

Pong Messiah Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 That's cool to know, Spam. I always assumed you were pro-Obama/anti-Romney mostly because you live in Texas, but you actually agree with the guy, too. OMG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Spam Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I think like you it's based on what I'm feeling at the moment. I just find it kind of weird that it's Romney. I would prefer a generic GOP sillouhette instead. Last time I think Johnson was first on the list. I can't find the thread though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
