I’ve now contributed to two major campaigns that are based on Libertarian ideals: Dr. Rand Paul and economist Peter Schiff. Both candidates are running as Republicans, the logical choice in today’s United States and the political environment. Though the Republican party is rife with lobby-tainted representatives, it is still the party most likely to rise up and replace the current Democratic majority when the People show up in force at the polls this year. The more Libertarian-minded candidates we have running, either separately or as Republicans, the better.

Better news for a change. From the AP:
A White House-backed bill to revamp immigration laws stalled in the Senate on Thursday, handing President George W. Bush a major legislative setback.
The sharply divided Senate refused to limit debate on the fragile compromise hammered out by a bipartisan group of senators and the White House. The vote was 45-50, 15 short of the 60 votes needed to advance major legislation in the Senate.
As a result of the action, the legislation was set aside and the Democratic-majority Senate moved on to other legislation.
