Hi Wisconsin RLC, We just confirmed that fmr. State Rep. Mark Pettis will be a guest on our radio show "Libertarian Politics Live" either later this week or...
Can you explain in more detail what you mean by: "Each Director has to make up their own mind whether the endorsement is wise and useful for the RLC, which...
In general, a candidate may be a perfect ideological match for the RLC, but will also be considered for viability and credibility. Viability: If a candidate...
What lesser of evils? How are Mitt Romney's positions on gun rights and right to life superior to Ron Paul's? If you are talking to me, my comments were...
Thanks, your comments are helpful to me in terms of clarification. I certainly do not forsee any problems with Ron Paul on those score. From what I can tell...
Posted by: "Joe Liberty" joe_liberty@... ... Thomas Sewell (National RLC Secretary and Board Member) gave a comprehensive response, with which I agree....
Bill, I am glad that you are supporting Ron Paul, but I do not see how that is "risky" considering that RLC previously elected him chairman and endorsed his...

I have to agree with Ron Paul on his opposition to managed trade. First, Congress abdicated their responsibility to implement trade treaties by handing over...
It is my opinion that Ron takes the typical IMPRACTICAL and libertarian philosophical position here, just as he does in 'HESITATING' to support FairTax...
I think that President Paul would make a better America than we are now. He has a pro- free-trade rating from CATO so certainly there is no reason for RLC not...
I am not sure, but I believe CATO endorses the Free Trade agreements for NAFTA and the Caribbean as well as the 'quick' trade agreement system that by...
CATO trade scores can be found at http://www.freetrade.org/pubs/pas/tpa-028.pdf Since '93 Ron Paul has a 63% score at reducing trade barriers and a 100% at...
I think these figures SHOW Ron is NOT that good on free trade. Not only does McCain score comparable, Maryland's liberal Democrat, Cris van Hollen gets 91...
Big deal. He has a 0% rating on increasing the Gross Worldwide Liberty Product (GWLP). On Sun, 08 Apr 2007 15:46:36 -0400, Joe Liberty <joe_liberty@...>...

National defense is one aspect of global trade that often gets lost in the shuffle. Let's say congress achieved a perfect "free trade" equilibrium, i.e., zero...
John -- I am note sure how your comments relate to Ron Paul. I believe his major 'shortcoming' in trade, per Cato and others, is the failure to endorse...
GWLP??? you mean failure to support liberty for others? If so I agree this is a major short coming. SOME items are NOT relative, they are WRONG. islam is...
John, that is a great point. My point was that given Ron Paul's favorable voting record on trade, there is no reason for RLC not to endorse him based on that...
Free trade is one of the main pillars of a free society. If the government can pick winners and losers in international trade by protecting some and...
to clarify this, I put Van Hollen in because he is one of the most liberal congressmen -- he would not be happy about even being mentioned in a favorable...
Early on in this discussion we made the point that national security must be considered with regard to sensitive technology and scarce resources. I am sure...
Brownback has the best overall record on key conservative/libertarian issues, including on trade issues, of the candidates now in the race. He lacks any aura...

O.K., "exporting hard currency" was a bad choice of words, but that does not undermine the point that China's trade surpluses are helping finance their...

Sure, if trade were the exclusive issue upon which someone bases their voting decision, Brownback might well make sense. For myself, when all issues are...
Ron Paul is not "horrible: on anti-protectionism treaties. According to CATO his score on reducing trade barriers since '93 is 63%. That is not as high as...
That does not making any sense to me. We were talking about one issue in isolation here, trade. You seemed to be complaining that Ron Paul was not free trade...
