Ron Paul would be my top pick.

Jim Gilchrist was on my list, but he has returned to the Republicans.

Also, Andrew Napolitano would be good, though I think he would actually better on the Supreme Court than as President.

I like Pat Buchanan but after 2000 run with the Reform Party, I don't see him running again.

Bob Barr who just joined the LP would also be on my list.

Is there any US Politican who is...

Anti-Imperialist (Most important issue)
Supports the end of most foreign military aid to Israel.
Supports a level of State-intervention in Health care to make sure that all are covered.
Supports the end of Farm subsidies; and most other forms of needless protectionism.
Supports minimizing the regulation the goverment has over Education.
Supports ending the asinine 'the war on drugs'
Supports putting more restrictions on the power of corporations; ending the defence industry cartel (the so-called 'military-industrial complex') - ideally removing the legal defintion of a corporation as a 'person'. (Though Ideally there should be no corporations in legal limited liability sense.)
Does NOT support fully ending the Welfare state.


A majority of politicians either support both or oppose both government intervention in health-care and education. You are looking for a leftist and a rightist position are two economically related issues. It's sort of like looking for a politician opposed to both abortion and the death penalty. Most favor one and support the other, but rarely does someone favor or support both.
