The Libertarian platform could be on the rise and have a huge impact on the next election. Senator Rand Paul from Kentucky might have ignited this alternative party, which isn’t so much about party platform, but the lack thereof. They look for government to play less of a roll in practically everything in life, which definitely isn’t a bad idea. 

Let’s put it this way, you had the conservative Tea-Party members supporting Rand Paul’s Filibuster, as well as ultra-liberal organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Code Pink. That’s impressive, and libertarians pontificating for a limited role of government in our lives, may be able to get a nice cross section of voters from both parties. 

Rand Paul’s filibuster even sparked some excitement from a website called: Is Rand Paul Still Speaking. Here’s the indepth coverage they provided on the filibuster. 

and when Rand Paul was not talking…

UPDATE: The filibuster must’ve worked because it actually got the Obama Administration to answer the question. Couldn’t it have been so much  easier if they would’ve just responded to Paul’s questions earlier.
