[QUOTE="Nraman, post: 1529644, member: 10001"] I like many parts of the LP ideas but I find some of their positions extreme. Don't quote me because I have not checked their platform in some time but from what I remember, they don't believe in borders, as far as they are concerned whoever wants to come in, no problem. Free trade with no restrictions which is nonsense, there is no such thing as free trade when it is free one way only as practiced today. No labor laws, if you are forced to buy from the company store, "if you don't like it quit" approach. They are mostly anti government, any government, let'em do what they want thinking. I hate big government as much as the next guy and at the same time I recognize the need for it. The need is why since the beginning of time humans and animals formed societies and governments. Just a couple of points that show a very crude platform that the majority of the people cannot support. When a party is trying constantly and gets ignored constantly, at some point the faithful need to reexamine their believes. Unless they want to feel good and results don't matter. At a time in our history when the people have no respect for either main party, the LP party has no support. Like a low hanging fruit that nobody reaches out to pick because they don't like the taste. At this point one can blame the people ( the Democrats tried that when the people voted Republican in MO), or consider that it is time to look at their own shortcomings. [/QUOTE]
