Say what you will, but we now have a Libertarian as Speaker of the House.

Maybe I just have lower standards for politicians - but I'm kinda pleased about this.

Will it make any difference - I don't know - probably not. Seems its all bad news lately.

But I'll take what I can get.
We now have a person with strong free-market views 3rd in line for the Presidency!
Ha!

    I do understand, Zero, but taking what we can get has been so successful, I am not consenting any longer. The GOP are traitors.

    You may not have noticed, FFA, but the Tea Party is a GOP subset - not an independent (i.e. un-electable) 3rd party.

    A poor fit - no doubt - but it got several candidates elected that we're better off for having.

    And it got the conversation started.

    I expect little from politicians, but like I said - I'll take what I can get.

    He may be an improvement over Boehner but the bar was set pretty low. He voted for a budget deal that basically means he will have little to do thru the end of Obamas Presidency. I hope he surprises me but I'm not optimistic.

    Libertarian? Rubbish.
    He had support of the masters of the GOP.
    He is suborned, or he would not have been approved.
