2. I have never seen so many "libertarians"
as in the past few weeks.

Libertarian is someone who won't admit to supporting the Republican party but agrees with everything they say.

5. I would like to put my two cents in
Personally I think of myself as a Libertarian in the sense that I think a person has the right to make as many choices for himself or herself as possible. The governments job is to make sure that those choices are available, and protect the individual from the abuses of corporations. The reason I vote Dem is because the dems are more in tune to those goals for gov then current Lib party that wants to just cut Government to the smallest size possible.

7. Would you call yourself a civil libertarian?
"Organized" libertarians want to cut out regulation of business, and all social programs, at least the ones that benefit the poor.

9. The problem with libertarians is their hatred of big Gov
I LOVE BIG GOVERNMENT, that might seem like a weird statement from a self described Libertarian but I do I Love Big Government. Government is there to protect people, their rights and health.

6. A libertarian is a Republican who doesn't want to give up their drugs.
I don't remember who said that quote, but it sure is apt.

4. They like to PUNISH when they vote..
When they vote for repubes, they are punishing liberals.. If they are mad at their guys, they will saty home., in order to punish them, and then secretly hope that enough will turn out so that liberals don't actually win..(or that the programmers are extra helpful, over at Diebold, ES&S, and Sequoia):(

8. Consider the Swiss
German, Italian and French speakers communicate to each other in ENGLISCH rather than learn each others' languages. :crazy:
