Oh I'm so loving the "libertarians" complaining about voting here. LOL. Nice one Mike762.

The RPer's offer nothing but an unrealistic immediate return to 1789 in theory as a dogma.

It simply cannot happen. Even Jefferson used military power projection as a tool.

Facts are there are not any reasonable leaders with a reasonable plan reduce the size and scope of the Federal government, competently manage a national currency, control spending and taxation while maintaining an effective reality based defense of the nation. It's not 1804 and 50 seperate currencies for the 50 states is not an option for anything but disaster. National defense isn't about 20 pirate ships powered by sails hanging out in Tripoli it's about nations with ballisitc missiles, nukes and the desire for genocide. Trade isn't simply farm goods and housewares, it's technology and information too. Get a grip people RP is deluded, narrow and regressive in thinking. Now many of his points are good and need to be heeded particularly on spending and scope of the Feds. The rest of it is amusingly deluded. Just abolish the IRS? have you noticed the already 17% real unemployment rate? Perhaps we shopuld just dump a few million more people on that number? Get a grip people.
