As long as it says (R) on the ballot he's a Republican. Maybe a Republican in name only but if he puts (L) or (l) on the ballot he's an ex-Congressman.

You're missing the point. Libertarian with a big L denotes a party affiliation. libertarian with a small l denotes a political philosiphy. It's like saying there are conservative Republicans (i.e. Newt Gingrich), liberal Republicans (i.e. Olympia Snowe), centrist Republicans(i.e. President Bush) and libertarian Republicans (i.e. Ron Paul). Make sense?
