i know that ron paul and all the other libertarians have a great love for the constitution.  i know they really hate the income tax amendment.  i know they long for the good ol' days of freedom (for white landowning males, at least). 

just curious if they support direct elections of us senators...or if it is just junking up the constitution?

okay, let me get this straight...libertarians constantly talk about personal freedom and liberty.  shouldnt people have freedom to directly elect their senators?

also im curious how libertarians feel about the presidential electors selection.  the constitution states they shall be selected by state legislatures (which they still are).  of course now the state legislature respects the popular election results in their state.

should we just stop having presidential elections and have the state legislature appoint electors for us?
