There is no such thing as a "libertarian democrat". Even if such a creature existed, I'd be curious to know which parts he supports.
To be honest though, some important issues like the 2nd Amendment and the issue of life or death (abortion), there is no middle ground. Either you're for gun ownership it or against it. Either you're for life or against it. The middle ground is for those who like to meddle around in gobbledygook.
Why would you say that? Not all democrats are big government socialists - especially not in the south.
I didn't say he was a "libertarian democrat" (although that is how he labels himself). I said he was a libertarianish democrat. If you want to know what he means by that, you can read his description here. Obviously Kos' idea of "libertarian" is not that great, but it's better than our current rulers in the GOP.

Not being a regular reader of DailyKos, I don't know where he stands on abortion, but as for the Second Amendment, as I already said, he supports it. He says so in the link provided above.
A Libertarian Dem rejects efforts to strip away rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights -- from the First Amendment to the 10th. And yes, that includes the 2nd Amendment and the right to bear arms.In fact, most Libertarians on this board have spent every waking moment on Lieberman threads castigating the guy, and he's everything you claim Libertarians to be.
Huh? Lieberman is gone come November, and I say "Good riddance".
That creature does not exist, and if it ever did, it only exists in your fantasies.
