    Obama just won...

    If they aren't competitive then they are insignificant. If you add all those votes to the republican ticket it still isn't enough.

    Two Americas. Living in the political twilight zone.

    Funny you mention that. I heard something the other day about Texas wanting to jump ship. Just heard it in passing. Don't know any of the details.

    Obama just won...

    Ok. one percent to two percent still makes them insignificant. Even if they go to five percent, same problem. I like quite a few of the libertarian positions but that is much different whether they could even remotely compete on a national level. There is nothing out there that even suggests...

    "Moving day"???

    Always different opinions on this type of topic. No need to turn it into a personal name calling exercise when one differs.

    Obama Didn't Win - ROMNEY LOST!

    I would say we have and continue to stray from anything you mentioned in that quote.

    Hurricane Sandy

    I would say at least in the short term, we won't go in without a load or revenue back out. Some freight coming out but it don't match the available trucks sitting. Profitable for some of the carriers, but for us the fuel would be too high to DH out on their (Sylectus) posted rate. The...

    Obama Didn't Win - ROMNEY LOST!

    Care to explain what this "movement" is?

    Obama Didn't Win - ROMNEY LOST!

    What movement? Did I miss something?

    Obama just won...

    Libertarians only bumped up a little (very little) because the other candidates were that bad. Not anywhere close to even being competitive. Could that change? Not likely. Just don't have the candidates or cash to compete.

    Obama Didn't Win - ROMNEY LOST!

    I thought of that intitially if all things were fairly equal. This happened with a president whos first term was basically a disaster. With that changing landscape, I'm not so sure.

    Obama Didn't Win - ROMNEY LOST!

    I think there are exceptions either way. But when looking at say 43m on welfare, you might have a hard time convincing me that a large number were Romney supporters. Of course I could be wrong since I don't have that answer but if I was a betting man.

    Obama Didn't Win - ROMNEY LOST!

    I would agree that unions were a factor and no doubt they will have to figure out how to deal with Latinos. All the lock up the border and "self deportation" comments aren't going to win over that segment that continues to get larger. Even the legal ones it seems will sympathize with the ones...

    Obama Didn't Win - ROMNEY LOST!

    I think any conservative party will only have a chance at the state and local level. Changing demographics just don't bode well for the libertarian or republican party. Probably most independants as well with this last election. Could have been Romney or any other and the results would be the...

    A tip of the hat to all Americans

    Like many, I 'm not thrilled with last nights results either. It could very well be a challenging four years. Then again, it might be a very long pause. Hoping for the latter. Either way, can't think of another place I would up and want to live there. One doesn't come to that realization until...

    Election Over: What, If Anything, Will You Do Different With Your Expedite Business?

    Re: Election Over: What, If Anything, Will You Do Different With Your Expedite Busine We don't plan on major changes but the jury is out on whether we would expand beyond where we are at. While we don't have the reefer issues, regulations of many forms will guide future decisions. Truck costs...

    Obama just won...

    Four more years of Obama is a letdown. No doubt about it. All the talk about Romney not being the right candidate to getting a libertarian voted in is pretty much off the table. The only way a future candidate can win is if the MSM supports them and they promise a pile of free stuff and...

    Ft. Hood: Workplace Violence or Terrorist Attack?

    Could argue it both ways but I would lean towards terrorism only because of the shooters motives and intent. Circumstances are alittle different than someone just going postal at the workplace.

    If Obama wins, then what?

    Won't be the end of the world but we will be in for some hard changes. I think it will change the landscape of future elections. As pathetic as Obama has performed and win, it will be a clear signal that in order to win you have to provide handouts. Very close electorate with a little more...

    Romney held in disdain in his home state

    I would have agreed with you 20 years ago. The companies putting names on stadiums or paying outrageous salaries are really a small percentage of total business. What has changed is we are now in a global economy on a grand scale verses years ago. That is the difference. Sure they want to make...

    Mr. President Reagan

    That may be true but lets not forget, that some farmers do have their hands out to accept money NOT to grow things. Actually.....quite a few. Have to look at ALL of the picture. Probably should add that there are many that claim they are farms and they really are not. Battle in NJ with...
