Green Party or Libertarian?

Question

Green Party or Libertarian?

Answer 1

Socialism or Liberty?  Take your pick.

Answer 2

Former Republican Bob Barr had a very authoritarian voting

record in Congress. He claims to now oppose many things he

once favored, such as the PATRIOT Act and the war on drugs.

But even if this is the case, he remains at best somewhere on

the fuzzy border between libertarian and conservative. So

libertarians will likely not consider him a strong choice to

represent their views.

In a study that ranked congress-critters by their degree of

libertarianism, Ron Paul predictably topped the list, but other

Republicans are few and far between until you reach the

bottom. Democrats identified with the "left" wing of the

Democratic Party, such as Dennis Kucinich, ranked near the

top of the list. Independent "socialist" Bernard Sanders also

scored near the top of the list.

Another who scored near the top of the list is Cynthia

McKinney, who was booted out of the Democratic Party.

She is now running for president with the Green Party.

(Another reference that libertarians might want to consider

is the Political Compass's rankings for the US 2008

presidential primaries: http://tinyurl.com/25dj2k )

I would say that Cynthia McKinney is probably the best choice

for libertarians in the 2008 presidential election.

libertarians should vote for in the 2008 presidential election:
