I'm not saying I agree with this, and I'm definitely unsure about the wisdom of putting Sarah Palin's name on the same chart as Ron Paul's.  But it's interesting.  Thoughts?

Lol I'm more interested in how you find sites like "humblelibertarian.com", but I probably wouldn't characterize SP as libertarian.

I'd say the Doctor is a personality as well, but his name still needs to get out a lot more. He also needs to stop being considered a right wing nutjob. Sarah Palin? A libertarian? Not a chance.

Yeah, he doesn't put her down as having a "strong small government record," so I don't think he's saying she is...I hope not, at least XD

Wow, I remember the days of "Who is Ron Paul?" It's amazing how far we've come.

Yeah... he's got A LOT of media attention compared to before the campaign. Still needs more though... but look at how well Rand's doing too, this movement's really kicking.

There are still way too many people who are completely unaware of who he is. I remember when I was in Texas, I talked to a man I was working with at a Habitat for Humanity site. We got to talking politics and I asked him if he knew who Ron Paul was. He gave me a puzzled look and said, "Nope. Never heard of him." Then again, he was part of the Americorps...

Thanks for the link love! To clarify: Sarah Palin definitely has NOTHING like the solid record of small government ideas and policy that have come from the other two on the diagram. It's definitely supposed to be a criticism of her as having little more than a likeable personality and a lot of name recognition (and that from practically the worst possible source: sharing a ticket with John McCain).

Boo the Good Doctor has plenty of personality. What does that even mean anyways haha. The reason he's in government is to defend liberty and the constitution, not be charismatic and entertaining.
