Paul, the Gulf Coast congressman whose 2008 presidential run excited libertarians nationwide, even though he didn't get much traction overall, is considered by many to be the "father of the Tea Parties." But he has three opponents in the March Republican primary – more than he has faced in his past six primary campaigns combined.

In the face of several electoral challenges from tea party-connected candidates, Texas Republican Congressman Ron Paul cautioned in a recent interview that "neocon influence" is "infiltrating" the movement he is often credited for creating.

    I said it before and I'll say it again: What this country needs is a robust Libertarian Party (that's neutral on Abortion) with 30-50 members in the House and 8 or 9 Senators. A party that's got the nutz to go in front of America and say "YES there will be another terrorist attack and NO we can't make you 1000% safe unless u wanna live in a damn dictatorial police state. Terrorism is the price you pay for living in a Free Society and you're more likely to die choking on a McChicken than from a Al Qaeda attack. Nut up, you ? ? ."

    i suppose they wouldn't be neutral in that they'd essentially be pro-choice, but they also wouldn't be passionately arguing for abortion

    Their official website was purchased and registered by a member of the GOP like two months before the election was over. It's been a Republican Party operation from the jump. SMH at anybody believing it was real populism.

    Overall I would agree with you but Kanye College Dropout is just to much of a amazing album I still bump that ? to this day where as Ghostface has no album I would bump all the time like that. With the way Ye has been for the past year he doesn't even deserve to be on my list but College dropout is just a pure classic hip hop album that keeps him on my list.

    I agree with your sentiment, but you're just saying our leadership needs to have the intelligence and courage to speak the truth about our national security situation, and you don't really need to be a libertarian to do that. Being a libertarian is more about not understanding economics.

    ? Fox too, I used to let them slide, but now it seems to me that anytime a liberty candidate has a chance to make a power move, they try to marginalize them just like they did to Ron Paul in the debates. Glenn Beck did it to Debra Medina the other night, just because she said she doesnt trust Congress's investigation into 9/11 he tried to paint her as a truther. Glenn Beck likes to act like he is a libertarian but he is anything but. He is a neo-con all day. The only liberty minded people on Fox is Stossel and Judge Napolitano, and they wont even let them get any face time. Stossel is quarantined off to Fox Business Channel and they got the Judge with a ? internet tv show.

    What do you mean by neutral on abortion? I guess you can say I'm neutral, although I don't like it and I tell anybody I can not to do it, just out of respect for life. I don't even like stepping on insects, but hey that's just me. I just don't think it should be a federal issue, Abortion is no where in the constitution so that puts in with in the realm of the states. If the citizens of a certain state wants to elect representatives that will make abortion cool in their state then so be it. The feds must step in once that life become independent of the mother IMO. As long as it is dependent, it is still a part of the mothers body i.e. her property.

    I just hate how people get hung up over one issue that will never change. Abortion isnt going anywhere, it just aints, so these ? people that will oust a good candidate just because they are pro-choice is dumb on their point. It doesn't make a difference one way or another. I just dont want any taxpayer money going towards it.
