Actually -- while Rand Paul does oppose Abortion, Gay Marriage, and supports continuing terrorist-hunting operations in Afghanistan, he has called for winding down the war in Iraq and bringing the troops home to protect the Southern Border.

But I guess you can't count on the Libertarian Party to criticize Rand Paul accurately, when they see the opportunity to cash in on some of Paul's fame and infamy by running a spoiler campaign.

You mean Liberaltarians.

KY Senate Election News.

I'd hoped that the Libertarian Party would take a pass on this election, the way they usually do whenever Ron Paul is the GOP candidate in his own district, but I guess that Rand Paul is not "pure" enough for them.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

So Rand Paul loses 0.8% of the vote. Big deal.

Most of those goof balls consider the pro-life movement an infringement on one’s own rights, while ignoring the fact that an unborn baby has rights too. Reducing the size and scope of government power is a worthy goal, but many of these idiots take it too far to the point they come down on the side of total anarchy.

Proof that libertarians are not conservatives at all—just another attempt to live without God.

Given your liking for Rand Paul, but your distaste for "purist" Big-L libertarians, you should love this topic.

FWIW, I used to be a registered Libertarian, a long time ago; but I converted to Republican after deciding --

1.) That the Libertarian Party doesn't run enough Pro-Life candidates for my liking, Ron Paul and Harry Browne excepted; and...
2.) I don't really like stupid "holier than thou" stunts like this, and the LP pulls this kinda crap all the time.

The Tea Party better realize that Libertarians are not natural allies of social conservatives.

So, a present-day Congressional Representative takes seriously Thomas Jefferson's declaration that:

"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them."

The implications of such a deeply-held belief are absolutely shocking to what might be called "modern sensibilities," which, with all the advanced scientific data, insist on the old "woman's own body" argument.

Libertarian principals support using government to prevent the strong from preying on the weak so protecting unborn human beings from being murdered is consistent unless you take the unscientific view that a fetus is no more important then a diseased appendix.

YIKES, those "free-for-all" Libertarians are going to rip Rand out by the roots!

I'm certain that many of then were astonished at his being supported by another, "life begins at conception" like Sarah Palin.

This certainly isn't what my Libertarian friends tell me they stand for and they're even more pro-choice than NARAL!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I’m sure Eternal Vigilance is circling this thread and will blab that Rand Raul is still “pro-choice” for the states or whatever.

For a useful resource and a good bracing read, I give you the Libertarians for Life Website.

Doris Gordon, one of the chief promoters for L4L, is an outright atheist, a devoted prolifer, and one of the most tenaciously, relentlessly logical people I have ever encountered in my life.
