What unfortunate results. Never before has a more deserving, experienced, and genuine man been denied the presidency.

Pfft, Obama just got lucky. If that economic crisis hadn't spawned next to McCain in the second match he would've won.

Maybe McCain from the year 2000. This McCain was a completely erratic shell of his former self.

His claims that the campaign wouldn't have gone so negative if they had done town-hall meetings is ridiculous, and anybody who took that seriously has a big problem with naivety.

His suspension of his campaign to "handle the economic crisis" was a cheap ploy to look more presidential, but in actuality just inserted campaigning politics into the discussions, and he offered no solutions himself on the matter. And his whining about Obama being sexist with the "lipstick on a pig" remark, when he himself had used that line plenty of times before, was unacceptable.

His attacking the ruling on Guantanamo detainees deserving fair trials lost all respect I had for him as a POW.

The straw breaker was when he chose Palin, who represented everything he stood against in 2000, as a running mate. She was clearly divisive, intolerant, and proudly ignorant, and yet he chose her in hopes of drawing up support from disillusioned Hillary supporters.

Hopefully the man he used to be returns, because I would've proudly voted for that guy.

EDIT - As a libertarian, this is the saddest picture I'll see all day =(

Ron Paul for president! Much better choice than either of the two main candidates. Maybe next time.

McCain tried to tornado spam Obama, but Obama's DI is too good.

Mc Cain doesn't know how to wavedash! And Palin doesn't know how to L-Cancel! That's why they failed as a team! :o

Does it matter? He's more well known and has much more support than the "official" Libertarian Party candidate, Bob Barr.

But yes, he wasn't on the ballot and even if he got over 50% of the popular vote he wouldn't become president. That won't stop me from voting for him again though. I refuse to choose between the lesser of two evils.

I don't get the libertarian hang up about states rights. What is wrong with giving the government a little power to make country wide laws that clearly should be upheld? If we had always gone with Ron Paul's push for "state's rights" slavery would still be legal in the south. Why should states get to decide which civil liberties they can withhold from their residents?

Are we really having this debate here?

According to the Constitution (remember that thing?), the federal government doesn't have the right to legislate on civil rights anyway. Anything that's in the Bill of Rights, freedom of speech, religion, right to privacy, etc., the government can't constitutionally make laws about. The two major parties don't give a **** though.

If you think about it, slavery was unconstitutional from the get-go. They are people and they have all the same rights as everyone else. It's a shame it took a constitutional amendment to end slavery when the Constitution should have done that in itself.

Nah, legally they were property, the had that amendment basically to say that they are indeed humans and have rights.

They actually weren't considered humans back then so you could work them just as hard as you can work a horse.

Sounds cliche but the constitution isn't a suicide pact. And I'm not talking about limiting freedom of speech/religion/privacy. I don't think making it legal for gay couples to marry limits any else's freedom, yet Paul believes they should not receive this right unless a state decides they should. If there is something in the constitution that would make you believe that this law shouldn't be allowed, it doesn't tell you something is wrong with the law, it tells you something is wrong with the constitution.

There are Libertarians here? I hope you voted for McCain, because his policies are far closer to what you'd like than Obama's. >_>;
