No, it's not. Never has been. Clearly you don't understand anything about Libertarianism.
Who will run in 2016?

I have found that Internet bets are a out as useful as a queer in a titty bar.
If you are right, you will be able to scream "I told you so"
I don't know who it will or won't be. I have given up the prognostication gig with regards to candidates. Been wrong too many times.
What I am saying is that you dems already rejected Hillary once when everyone thought she was a slam dunk. How do you know she won't get steamrolled again?

Bully for you. Remember when Rudy Guiliani and Hitlery Clinton were the respective candidates in 2008?

Clinton accuses Qaddafi of using rape as a tool

It was a lie that was obviously made up by Susan Rice .. never substantiated.
Amnesty questions claim that Gaddafi ordered rape as weapon of war
Human rights organisations have cast doubt on claims of mass rape and other abuses perpetrated by forces loyal to Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, which have been widely used to justify Nato's war in Libya.
Nato leaders, opposition groups and the media have produced a stream of stories since the start of the insurrection on 15 February, claiming the Gaddafi regime has ordered mass rapes, used foreign mercenaries and employed helicopters against civilian protesters.
An investigation by Amnesty International has failed to find evidence for these human rights violations and in many cases has discredited or cast doubt on them. It also found indications that on several occasions the rebels in Benghazi appeared to have knowingly made false claims or manufactured evidence.
The findings by the investigators appear to be at odds with the views of the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, who two weeks ago told a press conference that "we have information that there was a policy to rape in Libya those who were against the government. Apparently he [Colonel Gaddafi] used it to punish people."
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton last week said she was "deeply concerned" that Gaddafi's troops were participating in widespread rape in Libya. "Rape, physical intimidation, sexual harassment, and even so-called 'virginity tests' have taken place in countries throughout the region," she said.
Donatella Rovera, senior crisis response adviser for Amnesty, who was in Libya for three months after the start of the uprising, says that "we have not found any evidence or a single victim of rape or a doctor who knew about somebody being raped".
She stresses this does not prove that mass rape did not occur but there is no evidence to show that it did. Liesel Gerntholtz, head of women's rights at Human Rights Watch, which also investigated the charge of mass rape, said: "We have not been able to find evidence."

US intel: NO evidence of VIAGRA as weapon in LIBYA
There is no evidence that Libyan military forces are being given Viagra and engaging in systematic rape against women in rebel areas, US military and intelligence officials told NBC News on Friday.
Diplomats said Thursday that US Ambassador Susan Rice told a closed-door meeting of officials at the UN that the Libyan military is using rape as a weapon in the war.
Rice provided no evidence for the Viagra allegation, which they said was made in an attempt to persuade doubters the conflict in Libya was not just a standard civil war but a much nastier fight in which Gadhafi is not afraid to order his troops to commit heinous acts

This alone isn't enough to keep Clinton from running, but it sure puts her judgement into question.
Also, what will the political climate look like in 2016?
After the 2014 midterms, there will most likely be a republican House and a republican Senate.

Honestly I'd like to see Bill Richardson run again. Even Howard Dean would be a nice change. Sadly though its probably just going to be another member of a political dynasty on both sides.

I doubt Jeb would win the Rep nomination... to much bad associated with that name... I can see one of the Rep Governors coming through, especially if they can continue to tout their state finances.
that said, Bill Richardson would be a great choice as well.
Quayle was a huge idiot, are you kidding? From calling the people of "Pago Pago" our little brown cousins, to his attack on Murphy Brown he made a fool of himself for 4 LONG years.
Dan E. Quayle, Genius.
I did not mean to say they did not support more, I agree they do support much more than just social liberalism.

His 'attack on Murphy Brown'... seriously fucking hilarious Jarud.

Not me, I always said Guiliani was a joke of a candidate and that President Obama would likely beat Clinton.

Honestly I'd LOVE to see AZ governor Jan Brewer make a run.
Can you name a few Republican governors who could have a chance?
Sure as hell won't be Rick Scott.
Why do your posts never have any substance, they are so often simply a parot of something someone said with... "idiot" "fucking hilarious" or some other inane comment with no meat...
Here Ill help you out here...
Why do you believe my comment about his attack on Murphy Brown is funny?

Well first let me correct myself. I thought you said social democracy, not social liberalism. Social deomcracy is not at all related to libertarianism. My mistake on that.
You however, are still incredibly wrong. Democrats do not believe in Libertarian policies at all, and have not voted in any way (nationally) to indicate otherwise.
Ok, I just read your article, it was painfully long and as a Democrat I barely was able to get through it, but are those the governors you are talking about?
Rick Scott? Really? I don't know much about the others but if he is any representation of the others 2016 would be a cake walk for even John Roberts or Dennis Kucinich to beat...!
