The first step towards a working democracy are clean election laws and public financing of elections, two things which strike at the heart of libertarian ideals. This is your achillies heel.

orange,
wow...i'm shocked that you would prefer a Green party candidate...
che,
But the Greens get more votes. Why don't you support Ralph Nader?
It makes more sense, though, IMO to have a Libertarian candidate - I think he or she would appeal to more Americans overall.Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/DaveDaDouche

Boris,
DF, would you be willing to vote for the Democrat if he is opposed to the war and the election is going to be close?Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/DaveDaDouche

orange, here's a compromise - a Libertarian candidate who supports reasonable anti-pollution laws. Fair enough?Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/DaveDaDouche

Size doesn't matter. The largest political party in US history was the Communist Party of the 1930s, which had more than a million people pass through it in that decade. Membership doesn't equal support. The Democratic and Republican parties together have less than a quarter million dues paying members. Support is what counts, and the Greens have more support than the LP.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

Probably not - Dems are too anti-freedom.

Boris,
So if it's a choice between a Republican you know is going to start a war you oppose and a Democrat you know will not start the war, and that there's no way any other candidate is going to win, you'd rather, in effect, help the Republican? Seems bizarre.Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/DaveDaDouche

floyd - as long as he/she wasn't a neo-liberal and had reasonable economic policies (not like your silly no taxes, government financed by lotteries ideas) I'd definitely support him/her
After all, I'm as much a libertarian as I am a leftist.

Simply capture US forces in EU and blocade them. US aren't so millitary strong compare to Rusia and China combined. Captured US forces would do pretty good argument for forthcoming discusion with US.
So war with US isn't totaly out of question, just difficult.
EU and other country could withdraw their money from US and say it is for compensation of war in Iraq damage to their economy. You know oil prices would go up. (Numbers are from few cents down to 160$ per barell)
Then again Europe states could harm US if they would do nothing. If US would be forced to pay all expenses for war in Iraq...
Well world could be without US, but US can't exist without rest of the world as reasonable state. (if they would be banished from rest of the world trade and so, US would degrade quickly)

I'd vote for a staunch Anti-War Democrat or Republican if they opposed the war unconditionally, with the exception of Iraqi bombers and troop transports crossing the Atlanatic and preparing for an invasion of the U.S.
Right now, besides Al Sharpton, it seems there is only one anti war Democrat..... and he is only an anti-unilateralist, which I cannot accept.

Floyd - in a Democracy, wouldn't you doing the 'moral' thing include voting for someone who is against the war? If you don't, how have you acted morally?"Chegitz, still angry about the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991?
