Fair enough. After the last election lots of Bush Bots here on FR were whining that the libertarians cost the GOP the senate, and that libertarians naturally belong in the GOP. That being the case, it would be hypocrtical to the argue that Paul shouldn't run in the GOP. However, your position is logical and consistent, and we have no problem then.
Yep -- I remember those threads and I jumped in and said we can't assume, based on the liberalitarian positions on the War on Terror and immigration, that those votes would have gone for the GOP. People have to stop assuming that the "L" vote is a faction of the GOP. Now, I do blame the so-called conservatives who stayed home to "teach the GOP a lesson", but I consider the liberalitarians to be distinct from them.
