H/T to Philip Van Cleave at VCDL who had this to say in an earlier alert this afternoon:
“It appears a major Democrat benefactor and Obama campaign bundler, Joe Liemandt, has been making sizable contributions to the Sarvis campaign. In fact Liemandt’s PAC is the single largest independent donor to the Sarvis campaign.
Is Liemandt a stealth Libertarian?
Seems pretty unlikely - the Democrats and the Libertarians don’t have much in common philosophically speaking, but the Democrats benefit when the Republicans and Libertarians split the vote.”
“Seems pretty unlikely - the Democrats and the Libertarians don’t have much in common philosophically speaking, but the Democrats benefit when the Republicans and Libertarians split the vote.””
I’ve been known to give a few bucks to the Democrat’s spoiler.
*””Seems pretty unlikely - the Democrats and the Libertarians don’t have much in common philosophically speaking,””*
They have a huge amount in common, not only shared politics, but a common effect on America, and a shared war against conservatism.
Sarvis is a good libertarian.
Libertarian Party Platform:
Throw open the borders completely; only a rare individual (terrorist, disease carrier etc.) can be kept from freedom of movement through “political boundaries”.
Homosexuals; total freedom in the military, gay marriage, adoption, child custody and everything else.
Abortion; zero restrictions or impediments.
Pornography; no restraint, no restrictions.
Drugs; Meth, Heroin, Crack, and anything new that science can come up with, zero restrictions.
Advertising those drugs, prostitution, and pornography; zero restrictions.
Military Strength; minimal capabilities.
Imagine Georgie Soros...funding a libertarian to quash a republican opponent to one of his own....
Actually Libertarians and Democrats agree on many issues:
Open Borders
Unlimited Immigration and Illegal Aliens
Free Trade and Globalism
Relaxed Drug Laws
