Libertarian philosophy is resonating nowadays, finally now among some Republicans. I bet that Fox News and Fox Business shows like Freedom Watch with Judge Andrew Napolitano and John Stossel are part of the reason. We all know that Fox News is the top news show among Republicans and Conservatives, so when well-spoken Libertarians are on the air, the message is convincing. Judge Andrew Napolitano even got some air time on the Daily Show. Libertarian is anti-progressive-movement, so I’m not surprised Jon Stewart sparred with the Judge on his positions, but alas, the Libertarian positions are getting some air time.

So now Ron Paul is at the top of the Iowa Polls. Finally. Republican voters are seeing that Libertarian principals line up with party goals, and that long held Republican assumptions, like pro-war and anti-gay-rights, are not pulling their weight as much as the thought of living in a truly free society.

This site is designed to help convince people to vote for Libertarians. That means wherever they are found, even if on the Republican ticket. The Libertarian Party will get more exposure by having Ron Paul on the Republican ticket, just because the word Libertarian will be spoken everywhere. Sure, the eventual goal is to have a strong 3rd party, as outlined in other pages in this site, but if Libertarian Ron Paul manages to get Republican support, that is a huge step in the right direction.
