He quit the Republican Party two years ago, saying he had grown disillusioned with its failure to shrink government and its willingness to scale back civil liberties in fighting terrorism.


however his views on other social issues don't really seem to fit the Lib party

I agree with most of his platform, but I don't really see that my civil liberties have been infringed upon unless expanded.

I dont think he'll have an impact. I do find him to be one of the more honest politicians out there thought... if there is such a thing.

I read his bio, seemed weak for a Presidential candidate. His political positions don't seem particularly libetarian either, i.e. war on drugs etc.

again, he got punked by Borat. That should disqualify him from any further consideration.
