Thanks to all those who participated.
Well, I’ll be!
I can’t argue with their number one choices!
Sarah Palin is a Libertarian? Well I’ll be!
Some of the dudes and dudettes on the list seem more Conservative than Libertarian. The closest Libertarian is Paul because of connections to his father. Even still he’s more Constitutionalist.
Ohhh - Best Libertarian. I read “Best Librarian”. Makes moer sense now.
The head of this group is an opportunist named Eric Dondero. He’ll call just about anyone a “libertarian” if the mood strikes him. In 2008, for example, he drew laughs and derision from most real libertarians when he called Rudy a “libertarian.”
