True... but if they believe so strongly, why aren’t they proud to be libertarians? Why are they hiding under the guise of conservatism or Republican?

Why won’t Paul run as a Libertarian Independent?

I have NO complaints with that. I only have a complaint about trying to hijack someone else’s party when they lack the numbers and power to have their own party...

Because they know they have no shot at anything that way, let alone the Presidency. So they try to hijack the GOP primaries to give themselves a shot, albeit a fraudulent one.

Dishonest, shameful, pitiful. But I'm beginning to believe illustrative.

Why won’t Paul run as a Libertarian Independent?

He promised his wife. But if the GOP/libmedia made Mrs. Paul angry enough...well, she knows full well that both the Libertarians and the Constitution Party are frothing at the bit to unite behind him as the candidate of both parties, something rather unusual. It does underline his broad conservative support and the long appeal he has had in these circles.
