  • Re: Does Obama want me to vote for McCain.

    To answer the question, Yes I think he does. Obama doesn't need the informed citizen's vote. He's relying on the masses and they are delivering quite well. Libertarians should shed the light on this false prophet.

  • on voting

    considering all of the offered options for the november election are horrible I am considering not voting at all. I just don't see who I could possibly vote for.

  • you're preaching to the choir!

    As much as I enjoy Mises.org, I can't help but think that it is a rather futile effort. This blog is used exclusively by libertarians, so I don't see how it is going to persuade anybody to join the libertarian movement.

    Dear Ron Paul Supporter, Do you honestly believe that your candidate has a chance in hell of winning the primaries, much less the general elections? I could cite results from every reputable polling organization that show Ron Paul with less than 3% of the vote, but I have a feeling that you will find...

  • Voting is not a right

    The next time you hear someone going on about the "right to vote," remind them than voting is not a right - it's a coercive power wielded by the voting minority over a society. Rights denote the extent of action men may take without initiating force against others. Voting is force, the...

  • Voting is the worst kind of political apathy

    Most economists agree that from a cost-benefit perspective, the cost of voting far outweighs any material benefit . For example, in a presidential election, your vote is one out of 120+ million. Your chance of casting a tie-breaking vote is infinitesimally small, so small that you could win million-dollar...
