I think you're greatly mistaken on the whole point of his canidancy. He his very strong on defense but I have a feeling that your definition of defense has nothing to do with defending and a lot more to do with discrimination!

Demographics are killing this party. They may blame it on the candidates currently running, but that's the point. None of them appeal beyond the old white archetype with the exception of Ron Paul who himself is both old and white. And while Ron Paul at least appeals better to younger voters, his strange bedfellows like Lew Rockwell make it impracticable for him to ever appeal to minorities.  Dead on!

That's an easy one. The republican party is lead by blindly social conservatives who ensures their campaign coffers are filled by the war monger industry which greatly benefits from the US being a police state!!! We see it and are tired of it, so are not even trying ESPECIALLY when your top runners are yahoos like Romney and Santorum! I wonder how the Libertarian Party's numbers are doing?  Hmm… Why the drop?
