You cannot 'govern' from a book of theory. Regardless of the rhetoric and hyperbole coming from the uber-anarchist, once one takes an oath of affirmation to either become a candidate or to serve in office, the law and the constitution take precedent over one's personal beliefs.

While I may desire expanded liberty and reduced government, you can't get there outside of the law.
Don't you wish the repubs and dems took their oaths as seriously?
You would like Maher if you're not an idealogue. His best friend is Anne Coulter - not a taste I can understand but I bet they're funny together.

Here's why I'm saying he's not a Dem (from Larry King):
Quote:
MAHER: I mean, look it's two men, you know. That's what I worry about. I had a Democratic congresswoman on the show last, Sheila Jackson-Lee, and she was going on and on about how Democrats are great and the Republicans are evil, and I said, wait a second, the Democrats, the only difference is, is that they are bought by a slightly less scary group of special interests, OK, and I think that is the difference. I mean, you have to make a choice about which party do you want to be bought by. The Democrats are bought by trial lawyers, and the unions and the Teachers Federation; the Republicans, by the tobacco lobby, and the oil industry...

CNN Transcript - Larry King Live: Bill Maher Discusses the Republican National Convention - August 4, 2000

He skewers whoever is in power and whoever screws up - now see what you think of what he is saying, because I see it as being about the political climate of the last years.

I know who he is, and used to watch politically incorrect. I also know of his associates. Hell, I remember him as an actor. ........... god I'm old.

If you watched him skewer the Clintons, you know he's not an idealogue. Yeah, you are old!

I thought what he had to say was worth saying - let's finally get rid of the "pile on" crap that has ruled DC for the last decades. You're old enough to remember back when there was some degree of cooperation. I'm not expecting miracles, but I am sick and tired of kindergarten - so let's save the outrage for things that really are outrageous.

I think his best flick was "Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death."

I just don't see it happening.

So, he's a leftist Rush Limbaugh?

Voting for Democrats or Republicans is voting for two sides of the same coin.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

Maher's smirk that irritates Republicans is like Limbaugh's arrogantly smoking a cigar that irritates Democrats. You are supposed to be irritated enough to listen to their programs and talk about them.

Wasn't that movie "Cannabis Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death"? You know you are old when you can't remember. (^:

LOL! That film sounds like the perfect candidate for Mystery Science Theater 2000 or whatever it is called now.
