Governor's debate

Guys Guys Guys, where in the constitution does it say you have a right to work?

Everything is not always black and white Libertarianism and the Right to Work | Bleeding Heart Libertarians

Though I tend to side against right to work on principle.

But I doubt I could vote for Rupert based on other factors.

Wow... so somehow Libertarians can find a way to rationalize forcing people into Unions? Which is nowhere in the Constitution?

Rambone, you buy this??

So why aren't these guys run out of the LP on a rail for not being "pure" enough ?

While Rand Paul isn't a "Real Libertarian" because... uhh welll... why was that again???

Is this a case of "selective incrementalism"???

Maybe Rupert was confused on right to work. He seemed confused... Maybe he lit one up before the debate...

I don't think it was the one he lit up just before this "performance". I think it was all the ones he lit up in the first 40+/- years of his life.

The sad thing is that despite I find myself in agreement with a great many things libertarians do and I'd hazard to say, many Americans do too, Rupert epitomizes the stereotype many have of them.

Not when they don't want it to be anyway.

Hard to take anything seriously from a source that pushes "social justice."

I listened to it on WOWO last night.

Rupert- I would not want him running my lemonade stand. Seems like a nice guy with the best of intentions, but. . . . .

Gregg- I disagreed with basically everything he said.

Pence- To be honest, I have always liked Mike, but that doesn't mean I agree with everything he does. In my opinion, by far the best of the three.

This is a easy decision for me, I am going for Mike.

I'm gratified to see that others are confirming my impression of Rupert from my brief contact with him. I had to chuckle over the concept of a Libertarian being against a law that says one need not be forced to join a union to get a job.

John Gregg was the Democrat Speaker of the House when Evan Bayh and his replacement were running up debt and expanding the government in the 90s; his current positions are unsurprising.

The Committee on who is a true libertarian must be having a meeting this morning... any bets on if poor Rupert is now branded NOT ONE OF US?

With all the permutations of types of libertarians, surely he fits in somewhere. Maybe one of these?

[TheRude1]

Yada yada yada people are what they are yada, but the man looked like bumb from the street in a suit and can not be taken seriously

I had a good chuckle out of a few of them for sure. I did not watch the debate but from the sound of it every bit of momentum the Libertarians picked up this election in Indiana might be lost.

I'm convinced that it isn't the content of the law, but the fact that the law exists. It's enough that it's a law and that is all that is needed to know to oppose it.

I call BS. You never see the bright side to anything.

I wonder if rupert could stretch a taxpayer dollar like he has his 15 minutes of fame.

He's not worthy of the Libertarian mantle if he can't eliminate the tax dollars and the government they're supposed to help operate.

DAMN! Someone is feeling hostile this morning... All not well in GT land?

That was said completely tongue in cheek.

I'm tired of the libertarians monopolizing biting sarcasm and vitriolic demagoguery. Thought I'd give it a go myself.

Duly noted for future sarcasm detector failure on my end.
