He has always been a libertarian and so are most Americans.
I am conservative but also don't care what you do in your bedroom {with adults}, believe that marriage is between one man and one woman, but don't care if adult queers want to live together, carry a gun, but don't care that someone else doesn't.
When most people examine their own positions they will find that they are fairly libertarian {not totally radical like John Stossel}.
That is fine, but I’ll never vote to elect that to set policy for the entire country.
THAT is the problem, they want the rest of the country to conform to and accept them. Never gonna happen. There is a reason Liberaltarians never get elected to anything.
