If you believe prostitution, polygamy, gay marriage, abortion, and drug use should be legal, then you agree with the libertarians.
If you disagree with any of that, then you agree with Santorum - to some degree.
His argument here rejects the libertarian philosophy but does not specifiy his position in the other direction.
I don’t have to believe that prostitution should be legal to believe that the Federal level should have no say in that...just as they don’t. It is legal in Nevada and each state has made their own decision on that issue.
You don’t have to be full on libertarian to believe in small government and federalism. I believe in states rights.
“but does not specifiy his position in the other direction”
No he is pretty clear he supports big government entitlements.
So big, intrusive government is a GOOD thing?
At least with prohibition of alcohol, they had the decency to put in an amendment.
Even with an amendment, prohibition didn’t work.
Without the amendment, federal drug prohibitions should be outside federal powers.
And legalizing drugs would thin out the herd nicely.
I don't disagree with his philosphy, but I think if he wants to lead a govenment that codifies that philosophy into law, he need to be running for Governor, not President.
