If you wish to have a president who wants to force you to pay taxes, vote for Barr. If you wish to have a president who will end taxation and not take from you, that which is rightfully yours, vote for Baldwin. How is it that so many who think they stand for freedom are willing to be taxed? Do you not understand that it is a fundamental basic principle of truth that taxation is not compatible with freedom? Taxation, regardless of the method of collection, is the first step towards tyranny. It is not about funding the legitimate constitutional functions of government ( which are very very few ). It can never be the right or the jurisdition of the government of a free people to decide how much of our own money we will be "allowed" to keep. Taxation is merely a method of control, and even can be used by government to destroy individuals who are not willing to conform. One cannot truely understand the nature of freedom, and vote for any candidate who intends to force us to pay taxes. Anyone who is of the mentality that the government can take from you that which is rightfully yours. will not stop at just confiscating your income. They will use the force of authoritarian government to take anything from you. Please vote only for candidates who have pledged to abolish the income tax, and replace it with NOTHING. Anything else is absolutley NOT acceptable. Dr. Paul and Chuck Baldwin are the only ones who qualify. Sorry Mr. Barr, but until you understand amd embrace this, you are not worthy of anyone's vote.
Writing-in whether Anti-Truth League troll(s) like or not.
Vote for Chuck Baldwin if you want to put gay people in jail and to ban pornography. Baldwin is a surporter of the Nana state he want the government to make you decisons for you. That makes him a fascist neo-con and any one who surported Ron Paul should NOT vote for Chuck Baldwin.
Chuck Baldwin is the closest to Ron Paul's views on everything. I love the way Chuck Baldwin is not afraid to speak the truth-he is like Ron Paul in that also. If a miracle happens, I will vote for Ron Paul, if not Chuck Baldwin will get my vote-and I am telling everyone I know about him.
Raymond: Prove your accusation that Baldwin would put gay people in jail, or admit that it is just a vicious lie. What do you base this accusation on??? Also, how is wanting to abolish federal taxation, all conconstitutional departments and agencies, and entitlement programs, supporting the "Nana state"? This is beyond ridiculous !! Please be truthful from now on. This nonsense so much reminds me of how people were accusing Ron Paul of being a racist. You are no better than them.
This is Keith. Bob Barr and Ron Paul are exactly the same on taxes. Both say they want to get rid of the income tax. Both of them say they would support the Fair Tax, which is a consumption tax. Paul says so here in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI5lC4Z_T80
Here as well Dr. Paul says: “A pure consumption tax like the Fair Tax would be better than the current system only if we truly did away with the income tax by repealing the 16th amendment. Otherwise, we could end up with both the income tax and a national sales tax. A consumption tax also provides more transparency and less complexity. But the real issue is total spending by government, not tax reform.” http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst2006/tst101606.htm
Barr says: "Bob Barr: “Cutting spending would allow America to implement real tax reform. Our goal should be to reduce both the tax burden on Americans and the intrusion in their lives resulting from IRS enforcement of the income tax. One of the best approaches would be to adopt some form of a consumption tax, like a national sales tax, replacing the Internal Revenue Service and all federal income taxes as well as payroll taxes. It is not enough to eliminate the income tax. We also must repeal the 16th amendment, which authorizes Congress to levy an income tax. Without doing so, there would be an ever-present danger that a future Congress would attempt to bring back the income tax on top of the Fair Tax or any other alternative to the income tax." http://www.bobbarr2008.com/issues/taxes/
So they have essentially the same position on taxes. Sorry to disappoint you.
The Constitution Party platform (which Baldwin follows) says:
Pornography: "... we also believe that our collective representative body we call government plays a vital role in establishing and maintaining the highest level of decency in our community standards."
Gay mariage: "The law of our Creator defines marriage as the union between one man and one woman."
Gay relations: "We reject the notion that sexual offenders are deserving of legal favor or special protection, and affirm the rights of states and localities to proscribe offensive sexual behavior. We oppose all efforts to impose a new sexual legal order through the federal court system. We stand against so-called "sexual orientation" and "hate crime" statutes that attempt to legitimize inappropriate sexual behavior and to stifle public resistance to its expression. We oppose government funding of "partner" benefits for unmarried individuals. Finally, we oppose any legal recognition of homosexual unions."
Gay adoption: "We affirm the value of the father and the mother in the home, and we oppose efforts to legalize adoption of children by homosexual singles or couples."
See the Constitution Party is just a group of relgious zealots who want to force their values on other people. That is not libertarian that is facist.
Here look it up if you don't belive me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_Party_%28United_States%29#Social_policy ; http://www.constitutionparty.com/party_platform.php. They also oppose an end to the illegal and unconstitutional drug war.
If it wasn't for the two potentially open SC justices, I would vote Libertarian this fall. I just can't help Obama and the liberals. Let's keep driving toward 2012 from local races to the presidency. We need to find the next Ron Paul; and it's not Bob Barr.
Jed; Sorry to disappoint YOU , but your video does not support your claim. How many times has Dr. Paul said he wants to abolish
the income tax and replace it with NOTHING ? What do you not understand about that statement??
Have you not been paying attention??? Dr. Paul has said that when we are faced with the choice of having our money taken from us by either this method or that method, it is a FALSE CHOICE. The "fair tax" might be slightly preferable to the income tax, but not much. It is still the government stealing from you. It is still the government takinig from you that which is rightfully yours. Sorry Jed, but the real goal is to get rid of all taxation. Only then is real freedom possible. Dr. Paul and CIA Bob are not "exactly the same on taxes". Far from it.
Only Chuck Baldwin, even more than even a good man like Ron Paul is right for the Job.
Wake up Paulites! I supported RP too until he declared that he would not be in the race any longer and he would not accept a draft for President.
Ron Paul supports and hurting themselves when they think by writing-in or voting for RP they will force him into office. That won't work. If you really want to help....get behind Chuck Baldwin who is running for President and shares the same beliefs as Ron Paul. If you do anything else your wasting yur vote. I'm switching from Republican to Constitution Party as I am fed up with the liberal Republican party and they have left me and my values and don't respect the Constitution.
Raymond lies. Chuck Badlwin is a good choice for president. He is closer to Ron Paul than anyone else. He gets even less media attention. No Polls, No mention anywhere. He has my vote.
I too have left the liberal Republican Party and am now a card carrying member of the Constitution Party. There's plenty of information out there for anyone with a desire to learn the truth about each of these candidates. I researched until there was no doubt in my mind who was the best choice. It was so easy to reach a decision that I thought I had better do some more research. I found that the more you do the more you'll find that Chuck Baldwin is the best chance we have for restoring our Republic.
Vote Chuck Baldwin. Since Ron Paul is not in the election any longer, he is the ONLY candidate who understands the Constitution of this country and is not a Globalist who does not care a hill of beans about our national sovereignty--but only cares about getting elected and doing the will of the elite.
Chuck Baldwin will be the candidate on the ballot with the same views as Dr. Ron Paul (as outlined in The Revolution: A Manifesto). Get his twice-per-week emails by visiting Chuck Baldwin Online, and see for yourself. Baldwin has opened for Ron Paul, for example, at the DC March. Baldwin is the way to forward the r3volution at the Presidential ballot box - and he can win!
How can I be lieing by saying what their paltform says? Have you guys even read the CP paltform? It's not libertarian in any way. It says " The goal of the Constitution Party is to restore American jurisprudence to its Biblical foundations..." they want theocary not a republic. Look at it for yourself at http://www.constitutionparty.com/party_platform.php.
