RP can make good points but he's a bit of a loon. He's an isolationist, which we can't be in today's world. He does want to cut a lot of unnecessary government which I agree with, but I hope Palin can get the job done.

He also fails to see that a 3rd party in our system isn't viable. It took a Civil War to allow a 3 party election, but shortly after the Whig party died as the Republican party took it's place. Unless incredible social upheaval occurs.... he doesn't have a chance.

His "looniness" makes sense to me (what does that say about me?!)

I think what he says makes perfect sense, . . .

You're likely correct about a third party getting in; I'm hoping that others will adopt some of his thinking.

By the way, are you familiar with http://mises.org/ ?
