Can you sumarize their defense platform? I took a quick scan of hte website and didn't see defense mentioned (which I find quite odd for a political party...)

From their website: The U.S. government should defend Americans and their property in America and let the U.S. taxpayer off the hook for the defense bill of wealthy countries like Germany and Japan.

I don't like the sound of this. Though there could be cases where less spending is justified or other countries should pay more for their own defense, we have to live up to our committments. Inaction has often proved to be costly for us.

I like a lot of what I'm reading on here though. Maybe I will join. A libertarian candidate certainly has a good chance of getting my vote.

I disagree this thread should be in politics. it is germane to the current legislation.
