I'm actually a libertarian like the majority of Americans.
We are not being represented in Washington.
Hey Clad -- what leads you to believe that the majority of Americans are libertarians? I've seen wide ranging estimated percentages of the number of citizens who have some libertarian views (specifically when it comes to marijuana legalization and non-interjection in foreign conflicts). But, wouldn't imagine the majority to hold libertarian views across the board, based only on the small slice of the population that I see, hear, or read about. Just curious regarding your take.
I like a lot of Ron Paul's stances. For a while a couple of years back, I thought that his son Rand might be someone who could run in 2016 as a legitimate Libertarian candidate for president - but he's since turned me off in a huge way on several issues and I view him much more as a Tea Party Republican at this time.
Any libertarian leaders/politicians who you think might help to expand Americans' voting options from two parties to three parties by 2016 or 2020? It's long overdue, IMO.
