After he 96 debates where Perot and Browne sliced and diced Clinton

sure that would never happen again. Now debates are just another stop

speech.


I remember that Perot made an ass of himself, as usual. Browne made no
impression whatsoever...

Perot is the one who put the focus on the debt and caused most of the
efforts at deficit reduction, although Clinton still never actually
did anything about the debt. (in spite of the legend)
Perot's charts would still be relevant today

Libertarians make a great show out of discussing the politically
impossible, which is one of the reasons why they'll never win a
presidential election.

That still does not make the message invalid. The libertarians are all
about rights. You agree with about 75% of their positions based on
what you criticized from the web site.
Your main disagreement is that you want a bigger, more unsustainable
government controlling all aspects of your life..


Who is fighting for the Libertarian nomination in 2016? Ron Paul? Bob
Barr? Someone else who can get 1/2 of 1% of the vote? So long as they
suck those votes from the Republicans, it's fine with me.

I doubt they get many votes from the fundies in the GOP. Things like
ending the drug war, gay rights, immigration, women's rights and
ending stupid wars will separate them.
I liked Harry Browne and Gary Johnson, Bob Barr not so much. (voted
for Paris Hilton in that one)
The Pauls are not Libertarians
