mm hmm. The Iowa libertarian that works for Cruz.

How about this piece in the libertarian mag Reason, which breaks down all the reasons Cruz is a no go for libertarians.

-excerpt-

Get beyond economics and some constitutional issues, and Cruz’s record is far less libertarian.

Take foreign policy. -snip-

But Cruz is no non-interventionist. On the campaign trail he talks about “bombing ISIS back to the Stone Age,” “carpet-bombing,” and even making “sand glow in the dark” - a surprisingly unremarked threat to use nuclear weapons for the first in 70 years...

-snip-

And then there’s his hostility to immigration and gay marriage.
-snip-
That’s not the attitude that welcomed tens of millions of immigrants, including Cruz’s father, to this country.

-snip-

In November Cruz appeared at a “religious liberties” conference organized by pastor Kevin P. Swanson, who railed at the conference, as he had said many times before, “YES! Leviticus 20:13 calls for the death penalty for homosexuals. YES! Romans Chapter 1, Verse 32, the Apostle Paul does say that homosexuals are worthy of death...And I am willing to go to jail for standing on the truth of the word of God.”

-end excerpt

That last one is a biggie. It’ll sink Ted with independents too. I do not post this because I agree with these libertarian point’s. Just to point out the absurdity of libertarians flocking to St. Cruz.

So again I ask, Do you read the crap you post?

Yes I read the material I post.

I also read that piece in Reason, that you’re quoted (but didn’t linking).

You think all libertarians are in lock step?

My link was to this piece and it describes the divide very nicely.
