Focus on local elections. Voting a straight R ticket will keep us in this cycle. Now is the time for a true 3rd party to form. We'd have already elected a Libertarian president if everyone who calls themselves independent or libertarian actually voted in line with their ideals.

Yes, focus on local elections but the rest of it is bogus. A third party only ensures the continued domination of the Democrats and their anti-Western/Christian/American/whatever agenda. The GOP itself only exists because the Whigs folded under and completely disappeared. You can take over the Republican Party and win as Theodore Roosevelt did in 1904 but you can't win by fracturing forces -- all Roosevelt did in 1912 with the Bull Moose Party was give Woodrow Wilson an undeserved win.

You seem to assume that everyone registered as Unaffiliated (the American Independent Party is a whole other beast as some idiot celebrities in California just found out) would vote Libertarian. That just isn't so. There are some of us unaffiliateds that think Gary Johnson or Rand Paul are as off their rocker on certain issues as we think Mitch McConnell needs to join Boehner in retirement.

I wonder how much the Clinton Foundation has paid Matt Drudge to cheerlead for the Donald?

Probably much less than Cruz's wife's contacts at Goldman Sachs are paying Fox and Levin.

Yeah seriously... Drudge is not even trying to be unbiased. Just plain pandering and promoting.

Because that's pretty much a pipe dream. It's great to talk about...not so easy to put into practice. The legalized drug thing is the perfect example.

What does the Constitution have to say about drugs' legal status?

You wanna start a thread about that I'll be more than happy to discuss it.

Our laws are so focussed on the gov protecting us from ourselves. They should be focused on justice for those that harm others. Want to fuck yourself up? Fine. Harm anyone else at all and you will be accountable. Edit: That's how it SHOULD be. It's not and that's why it can seem like a pipe dream.

Besides the drug thing, what other freedoms do you think should be illegal?

The whole "if it feels good, do it, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else" needs its own thread - we're way OT now.

[GilpinGuy]

Agreed. Partly my fault.
