I’ve met Bob Beers, I believe he’s a good man, also one of the most libertarian NV senators, sorry to hear he’s not going to endorse Ron Paul. This is from an interview with him:
Many of the stances you take have a distinct libertarian flavor. What differentiates you from the libertarians?
The one thing I’ve learned is that labels really are meaningless. We have pro-business Republicans and anti-business Republicans. I’ve been a Republican for a long time and certainly disagree with some of the stances that Republicans take, particularly at the national level. Certainly here at the state level, the 2003 tax-and-spend hike would be a big one. I don’t know about libertarian and Republican. I think I’m a Nevadan and individual liberty is why we have established government. The protection of individual liberty is what the mission of government should be and everything should derive off of that role. I’ve been in business so I have that experience as well.
Thanks for the info. As a small-government/libertarian-type (and Thompson supporter), I’m glad to hear that information about Beers.
I wish Dr. Paul the best of luck, though — I have a great deal of respect for his Constitutionalist viewpoint and willingness to buck the crowd.
