This is why the Democratic party does more harm than good.

Both parties are the problem.

Liberatarians have a lot of good ideas but they go way, way too far in many areas.

There needs to be a sane libertarian lite party

The problem with the democrats is that they're bad at doing what they are trying to do. The problem with the republicans is that they are not.

Libertarians don't go anywhere because they don't get elected.

You can't "go too far" when you haven't done anything.

We should elect a few and then we can judge them.

You're wrong. It's preventing the poor and middle class's reaction to the truth from toppling the already shaky house of cards. There is a time and a place for lies. If everyone around you knew the truth of what's happening you'd be less safe.

There is short term and long term...

I think we would be much safer long term if everyone knew the truth, might be a bit chaotic in the short term but, meh - freedom is worth the inconvenience.

Some things can't be risked or recovered from and short term could be the next 200 years.

paul has long advocated for the poor to just go away. But few politicians are brave enough to propose actual plans to make all the poor people disappear.

Telling the rich that this nation's future depends on capital gains tax rates that are significantly lower than everyone else in their income bracket is not helping anyone.

Paul's idea of the truth is that poor people are poor because they are lazy and have inferior genes and they should be grateful they haven't starved to death already.

You have it half right. It really goes: Conservative: Helping the poor get out of poverty. Liberals: helping the poor stay in poverty. Those are the facts vs. the propaganda the liberals so love to repeat. As is the case with all Liberal failures, they say the other side is equally bad. They cannot defend; they just try to spread the failure as wide as possible.

Stupid, ignorant or evil
The result is always evil but the intent is not always evil. Not that it makes much difference in the long run.
