On a Federal level, libertarians are closer than you think to most Freepers.
In addition to what has been mentioned (less taxes, less spending, etc.), both should favor states’ rights to choose on social issues. Defense of the homeland is the same.
Biggest difference is overseas “defense” commitments. THAT is an issue that needs informed and logical discussion. Cruz and Paul may actually make this work.
But when “isolationist” or “neocon” terms start getting thrown around, logic ends and people stop listening.
I just wonder. So many on FR love cruz for good reason. I wonder what their 2nd,3rd and 4th picks would be. Probably Walker 2nd.
I don’t know how any freeper would like Bush, Christie, Rubio or the rest of the grifters like Graham/Jindal/Huckster.
I’m not sure how Paul isn’t in the mix with Cruz and Walker.
