Unfortunately not enough […]

A bunch of Libertarians (along with Democrats and Republicans) were invited by  John Stossel’s show on FoxBusiness , to watch the State of the Union Message, and give reactions last night.  It was a nice way to make it fun to endure the torture of listening for 75 minutes or so to a President who seems to be

She also nearly won the 2008 Libertarian Presidential nomination only losing to Bob Barr on the
