It’s been my great pleasure to have the opportunity to sit down with Austin Petersen and Steve Kerbel, both of whom are currently running for president of the United States under the Libertarian flag.
I don’t want to give too much of my opinion away as it relates to Steve, but I can say that if you’ve never heard him speak, or worse yet don’t know who he is, this is an interview you don’t want to miss.
Over the course of about 45 minutes, we discussed everything from the Oregon standoff to what’s holding the Libertarian Party back from achieving greater notoriety as a politically viable alternative to the status quo.
I found Steve to have an excellent command of the issues and a set of political ideas based soundly on Libertarian principles.
I know Gary Johnson just announced his candidacy, and many libertarian minded people will default to him simply because of his notoriety and instant name recognition. But I think it’s worth your time to spend a few minutes to hear from some of the other candidates. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find we have a lot of great people offering alternatives to the Republican and Democrat monopoly.
Want to see his poll numbers soar? Start a rumor that everybody that votes for him will get a new Apple phone and a big screen teebee.
I've thought before that some witty candidate could go the full George Carlin and do exactly that satirically. It would be a very funny way to make that point.
You'd be shocked how many people really would go for it.
