Paul is unlikely to directly seek the third party’s support, but could win it anyhow through the work of eager activists like those who worked the campaigns of his father, former Texas Rep. Ron Paul, a GOP presidential contender in 2008 and 2012 and the Libertarian nominee in 1988.

If Paul is nominated by both the Republican and Libertarian parties, it could also unleash electoral scenarios unseen in decades, such as the negotiation of a fusion slate of electors. Libertarians could, theoretically, nominate their own vice presidential candidate. Here you go "libertarians steel our votes" Republicans. 2016 is your chance to nominate a small government candidate and win our support. May the odds be ever in your favor. They need to take over the Republican party... |

You guys love to bash the R party while enjoying many of the benefits it has had a hand in protecting for you. Ironic on a gun forum especially. You like to cherry pick all the bad stuff while ignoring everything else....especially all the important gains made on the state and local level. |

I tend to be sympathetic to the libertarian's cause, especially when it comes to individual liberty, but this is one area where they are DEAD WRONG. Government has a responsibility to ensure the integrity of its elections. and voter ID is critical to preventing fraud. |

The problem with this scenario is that the votes (for Rand Paul on the Republican line, and for Rand Paul on the Libertarian line) would not cumulate. Each party would have its own distinct slate of electors in each state, so the votes would be working at cross purposes. It would be the same as if Rand Paul was on the Republican line, and Joe Blow was on the Libertarian line. The Libertarian (even if it was Rand Paul himself) would be the spoiler.

It's like they are completely oblivious to the fact that most people don't give a crap about freedom, and just want their gimme dats. To me, voter ID requirements and strictly limited immigration are small prices to pay for actually living as a free man. Libertarians prefer to put their heads in the sand and ignore reality, though. |

After seeing Rand kowtow to the race baiters in the wake of the whole ferguson thing, I can't get excited about voting for him. He's an empty suit like the rest of them. Blacks SHOULD be voting for Republicans, for a lot of reasons. He is courting them, has been for a while. He makes excellent points. Anyone who thinks that race does not still, even if inadvertently, skew the application of criminal justice in this country is just not paying close enough attention. Our prisons are full of black and brown men and women who are serving inappropriately long and harsh sentences for non-violent mistakes in their youth.
-Rand Paul Statements like this bother me. Just reinforcing the "victim" mentality. Except it's true. I would argue that the involvement in criminal activity is disproportionate, not the application of the law. The "society made you this way" approach doesn't do anything but perpetuate a lack of responsibility for ones actions. I agree with Charles Barkley and Bill Cosby on this subject. |

If he chooses to be a spoiler he can kiss any chance of being POTUS goodbye. Jesus fucking christ. Learn to read. Stay calm and settle the fuck down. And quit taking the Lords name in vain. And I will say it again if he doesn't win the Republican Primary and runs as the chosen libertarian candidate he can kiss any chance of being POTUS goodbye. |

Lulz, what a bunch of disingenuous nonsense. You guys love to bash the R party while enjoying many of the benefits it has had a hand in protecting for you. Ironic on a gun forum especially. You like to cherry pick all the bad stuff while ignoring everything else....especially all the important gains made on the state and local level. Quote HistoryQuoted:

If the Republican Party was more than a hidden Democratic Party, there wouldn't be a need for the Libertarian Party. Lulz, what a bunch of disingenuous nonsense. You guys love to bash the R party while enjoying many of the benefits it has had a hand in protecting for you. Ironic on a gun forum especially. You like to cherry pick all the bad stuff while ignoring everything else....especially all the important gains made on the state and local level. ahhhh...another fine example of RINOs canabalizing themselves. instead of backing a R, that can gain even more votes and lead to party unison for the majority of america, you search for a reason WHY he is not a good pick. im sure you dont like the idea, but christie romney and bush just arent electable. and that is exactly why one of them will get the nod. personally i dont care anymore. im just going to prep and pray this impending revolution starts soon after while im young and healthy enough to survive it. you can bitch and moan on the internet all you want. we have already passed the point of no return. im just going to wait for thegreat reset button to be hit. dont forget to keep a pocket constitution for after the fallout. it may be integral to the rebuilding efforts. |
