I can give you the ansel12 wisdom on this. Libertarians are “commandos of the Left”. They lure conservatives away from limited government because they are really liberals promoting a leftwing agenda by stealth. Mitt Romney and John McCain are examples of libertarians who do this. It increases liberal voters.
Yes, really.
Yeah I read most of this thread before I began posting. There is a huge difference between a small l libertarian such as Rand Paul and a card carrying member of the Libertarian Party. I see the small l libertarian as a classical liberal not a wacko LP member.
