Who do you support in the election of the next United States president?

I am for Ron Paul, I believe his libertarianism would be best for the US.

I liked Keyes a lot, last time he ran.
Wonder if he's gotten worse.

Doesn't matter to me; the axis of evil...er ...coalition of the willing is over. With Blair gone, and Howard about to go, and Bush finished, we may finally get somewhere.

Obama or Clinton.

One of them will win. It will be a historic election because for the first time, we will either have a black man as a president or a woman in office.

Don;t vote for that warmonger Romney!

If I were an American resident, I would probably vote for that Obama guy because he seems like a decent enough fellow. Although I don't think he has much chance of actually becoming president. I'd rather put my money on Hillary Clinton for that matter.

I might tend a little towards Ron Paul, he is somewhat extreme perhaps and that might be an issue, I definitely do not believe in the gold standard as much as he does and think it is destructive, but in the long run I think that reduction of government power is the wisest idea.

I am likely to vote Republican no matter what I would think. This is not because of a love of their social or foreign policy, but only because I somewhat prefer their economic ideas(I might change my mind if they continue to implement these ideas so poorly) to that of the democrats, especially given that democrats are trying to run a populist campaign on the economy and I prefer economic issues strongly to other issues which I often view as games and nonsense.

I'm likely to vote Republicanas well...... only because they're SLIGHTLY the lesser of 2 evils.

i agree...for right now, he'd be the best for what situation our country is in. not to say that libertarian is entirely the perfect form of government....but for where we're at...we need it. there's too much spending, too much reliance on big government and too much corporatism.

How would Libertarianism get rid of corporatism? If anything, the Libertarian "hands off" free market would only make corporations bigger and more powerful.

If Libertarian's made one small change,
either treating Corporations FULLY as
people, OR disallowed them, as a too
regulated matter, it would strip corporate
power to NOThING.

it puts the responsibility on the state to regulate the corporations....and it won't grant corporations special benefits, spending, and tax breaks.


not so much deregulation as it would be removing some of the favoritism within the federal government.
