Libertarians are not anarchists. Try again. Also, note the quote you quoted said unrestricted COMPETITION, not unrestricted banks.
Funny (political, religious) pictures

Well, seeing as how Gary Johnson (Libertarian nominee for 2012) has filed an antitrust lawsuit for the Libertarian Party's exclusion from the debates... I'd say not what a lot of people might expect it to be.
Did you want their actual stance, or the load of bullshit they claim to support when they're speaking in public?
My basic view is that a supply and demand economy is the proper way for capitalism to function effectively. That's why it's imperitive that there IS some government interference in large corporations and banking institutions. When they are allowed to become the juggernauts of market influence that they are now, this is how we end up with the destruction of small businesses and with it, a marginalization of the buying power of the middle class.
Basically, I'm tired of the Corporate Oligarchy and the Personhood of corporations needs to be repealed, like, 20 years ago.

Ahh, I didn't catch it until you said something. Adams didn't defeat an incumbent, Washington stepped down after his second term.
This is why we need a "Not sure if serious tag".
Could be worse. You could be drunk, pull up to a homeless shelter (or soup kitchen, don't remember), yell at the people to "go get jobs", throw a bunch of misc bills at them, drive off, and have your approval rating go UP as a result since he went into AA afterward. Ralph Klein, Premier of Alberta in the 90s and early 2000s. It really happened.
That being said, I generally think he was actually a really good leader of the province. Some bad decisions yes, but on the whole a good Premier. But that incident happened.

Not surprised.
Yeeeeah, but it kinda makes your chances of getting elected president microscopic at best.
Isn't that right, Ms. Kopechne?
...Ms. Kopechne?
...Uh, this is no time to go for a swim...
