That's why I am encouraging other libertarians to support his candidacy, because he will also appeal to traditional (non-neo) conservatives.

ML, is it your opinion that FreeRepublic is dominated by neo-cons?

My experience on FreeRepublic (8+ years) tells me that FreeRepublic is dominated by true conservatives, not the Bill Kristal/neo-con types.

Doesn't matter, though. Hagel might be able to raise some money, but he'll never garner any votes in the South, to include Texas.

If Hagel got every Libertarian vote, he'd still finish fourth in a three horse race.

There's a heavy presence, but no, I would not say that they dominate. I do frequently feel like the board is dominated by anti-free market, anti-free trade, anti-immigration Pat Buchanan/Tom Tancredo (and now Duncan Hunter) fans. I want the GOP to nominate a candidate who's both pro-business and not a neo-con, as well as somebody who will cut both taxes and spending, and Hagel seems to be the best fit for that candidate.
