The guy sounds pretty down the line conservative/ libertarian... doesn’t sound like hes thinking McCains more moderate...also i don’t hear any leftist arguments in any of the post, what makes you think this? simply because he runs a punk rock label?
In his own words:
“I know many of you think anything “establishment” is bad... and you’ve got disgust for anything GW Bush and (the party that birthed him) the Republicans (and I would agree with you on many points I’m sure)...”

Libertarians are supposed to have MUCH more in common with Republicans than Democrats, at least that was the case when I was a member in the mid 1990s.
I hear this as the standard Leftist Republican bashing. Yes, particularly since he is directing this to readers of his blog, who I would be shocked to learn, that as “hip” punk rock fans and musicians, are anything but cool, progressive Leftists.
Johnny Ramone was the vilified punk rock conservative that proves the rule.
That said, he does go on to make some great statements. My only problem was with the qualifier, which he felt important enough to insert at the begnning, before he even got started.
