Ron Paul, Ralph Nader agree on ‘progressive-libertarian alliance’

Of course the right winger is nuttier than the left winger, right? :roll:

Does that mean you now support Ron Paul? Let me buy you a beer. :mrgreen:
 
Both groups believe in government accountability so it makes sense.


Both also believe our military should be limited to defense only.
 
This is doomed, doomed, doomed. There is a basic 180 degree difference between the attitude of progressives and most libertarians when it comes to government itself and the purposes and uses of government. This causes both groups to develop and instinctive loathing of each other.

From what I have observed, there appears to be a 180 degree difference between what most of the folks within the Libertarian party itself can agree on. Not that I think they should agree on all their major party planks, but I think it makes it difficult for them to congeal into a party of significant size.
