[RidleyReport]

you say nut like it'a a bad thing

[RonPaul2008dotcomluv]

Despite all this, why did New Hampshire pick McCain instead of Paul?

[RidleyReport]

well that's what all the states did, they picked someone over paul. but in New Hampshire he got a bigger percentage of the vote than in any other early primary...and that was when there were still 9 major candidates running against him.

There were *caucuses* were paul did better, but caucuses are a totally different thing from primaries and skew toward paul more than primaries.

Excellent report Dave...

Because, in Texas, for example, instead of just a few thousand people needed to make the project a success, we'd need about 500,000. Houston would need about 60,000; Dallas about 45,000; Austin would need about 50,000 since it is the capital; San Antonio would need about 20,000 because the population is similar to NH. But, few of the state reps are approachable.

Liberty lovers warm my heart. I'm moving in January... from Taxes, where Texas used to be.

@juliaisafilmbuff123 That doesn't really answer my question, nor do I see it having any relevance. What recourse do they have?

[juliaisafilmbuff123]

@dachickenman Libertarians are hardly a disadvantaged minority. If that were the case, then you wouldn't see these million-dollar libertarian think tanks (i.e. CATO, Mercatus, IHS, Mises Institute, Americans for Prosperity) dishing out their propaganda at every turn.

[dachickenman]

@juliaisafilmbuff123 What recourse do these people have? No option for living the way they want to live is left for them within the U.S. and every piece of land on Earth has been claimed by some country. It seems that they'll have to change the policies somewhere.

[juliaisafilmbuff123]

@dachickenman When they respect the natives and aren't part of a scheme to take over the area they're moving to.

I know enough Palestinians to understand what happens.

[dachickenman]

@juliaisafilmbuff123 So at what point is one justified in emigrating due to oppression?

[juliaisafilmbuff123]

@dachickenman Last time I checked, no one was putting libertarians into death camps. Your analogy fails miserably.

[dachickenman]

@juliaisafilmbuff123 Why didn't the Jews in Germany just fix their own governments? (The idea is only different in terms of degrees of oppression.) I'm not sure what the problem is: if states are the means by which majorities, well-organized minorities, or whomever force their ideas on others, what is wrong with the free state project? The only way this criticism could be consistent is if one preferred even less intrusion into their lives than a government instituted by the project would entail

[dachickenman]

Too bad Romney got more votes in this state than Ron Paul.

seatbelts are evil. good job nutsos

One word to anyone thinking of moving up here to NH: TOLERANCE. If you like Sarah Palin...FIND ANOTHER STATE.
