Hi.

Hello.🙂

 

[Cyco]

Oh, sorry thought it said librarians... my bad.

 

[JellyBaby]

I've half-a-leg in the libby bucket.

<< Oh, sorry thought it said librarians... my bad. >>



LOL

 

[Riprorin]

Aye.

 

[spazntwich1]

I'm only 17, but the majority of my beliefs are definitely libertarian leaning.

 

[Computergeek1766]

Excellent! You're off to a good start to adulthood by eschewing Republicrat thinking.

 

[wQuay]

leaning in that direction.

 

[glen]

Here

 

[Triumph]

I think I am (well, not registered), except for abortion. Sorry.

 

[jaydee]

Will be when I bother to register.

 

[mss242]

There seem to be a lot more libertarians around with every passing april. Self-interest much?

 

[bizmark]

not registered or anything, but if I had to pick anything, it'd be libertarian.

Maybe a little bit of Green too.

I wish the Reform party still had major funding... 🙁 I would have voted for Perot

 

[Novgrod]

Hola.

Though I want an expanded sherman antitrust act.

Are you sure about that? Those two are about as far apart on the political spectrum as it gets... 😉

No they aren't. Both libertarians and greens are socially liberal.

 

[HermitGuy]

Been leaning Libertarian for many years, I almost voted for Ed Clark in 1980 and I will probably vote for thier nominee in 2004.

I'll have to politely disagree with you on that I've been pretty much a social conservative most of my adult life and as stated above have been drawn toward Libertarians that whole time. Republicans seem to be much more drawn to the Libertarians than liberals.
I think the difference is that whether you are a social conservative or socially liberal, you are a libertarian if you do not believe in using the government to stuff your beliefs down peoples throats. This is a real problem with the left in this day and age.

 

[hopeless879]

Yep, I'm 18 and registered libertarian. I found out about this party when I realized I couldn't stand the republicans or the democrats. So I'm here now.

My friends dad has been voting libertarian since the 80's.

 

[HombrePequeno]

I'm only 17 but when I register it will probably be under Libertarian.

The Greens may be socially liberal, but the Libertarian Party is far from it.

 

[thirdrail]

I disagree with some of the more extreme proposals ( complete privatization of public services, et cetera), so I would characterize myself as a "soft" libertarian. .

Pardon? If self-interest is your thing, you need only look to the big two poli parties. Their only goals are to maintain the status quo, establish their power base, and grow the government. Look at their actions and not their promises.

Libertarians want to put the power of choice back into the hands of the people. How on earth is that equate to "self-interest much"? 😕
