He’s more of a libertarian and sees social issues through that prism, where Romney would see social issues through the liberal prism. So while they may arrive at the same place (which happens in politics), I think they’re coming from totally different directions

As a conservative, my goal is to see that they don't attain that left wing goal, no matter what vocabulary they use to promote it and campaign for it.

“As a conservative, my goal is to see that they don’t attain that left wing goal, no matter what vocabulary they use to promote it and campaign for it.”

Right. The general difference between libertarians and conservatives is religion, religious issues, or societal issues. The two are shoulder to shoulder on a number of issues but on some they differ.

I used to listen to Neal Boortz every day, who’s a libertarian, but after the 2012 election, when he blamed conservatives for the republicans loss, I didn’t listen to a word he said again. Because we conservatives knew all along that Romney and his ilk would lose. We supported LITERALLY everybody but him throughout the primaries. But it was to be Romney and Romney it was to be no matter what we did or said. The consequences were the fault of the moderate establishment, who we all know backs loser after loser.
