Clinton did something with it, but the Republicans certainly didn't under Bush. Paul's positions on immigration and free trade aren't really libertarian--he's anti-immigration (while using welfare as an excuse to those who are in favor of open immigration) and is happy to pander to protectionists with his opposition to free trade agreements (while saying that he only favors true unilateral free trade to those who favor free trade).

Clinton did something with it, but the Republicans certainly didn’t under Bush.

Paul’s positions on immigration and free trade aren’t really libertarian–he’s anti-immigration (while using welfare as an excuse to those who are in favor of open immigration) and is happy to pander to protectionists with his opposition to free trade agreements (while saying that he only favors true unilateral free trade to those who favor free trade). His pandering to Tancredo supporters is disgusting.

Sheldon Richman’s opinion of Paul’s “Meet the Press” appearance is at odds with Chris Masse’s, as apparently is Robin Hanson’s.

The political elections are just a pretext. Indeed, nobody believes that Ron Paul will be elected. The great thing is that Ron Paul went on Meet The Press and gave Tim Russert a run for his money. You should watch the video. http://www.midasoracle.org/2007/12/24/rep-ron-paul-r-tx-would-free-our-prediction-markets/ Ron Paul infiltrates mutant ideas into the media and the blogosphere.

Ron Paul is the man to support in order to convey the libertarian message, which he does excellently. Ron Paul will have a profound impact, just like Ross Perot did. What counts is the impact that people have in the realm of ideas. Once those ideas become popular, then the popular politicians of the time will endorse them. After Ross Perot, the priority was the deficit reduction ---for both Bill Clinton and the Republicans in his Congresses. Supporting mutant ideas are more important than endorsing an "electable" politician. You're wrong; I'm right. This post is the definitive proof that you have a screw lose.
