Why is he my fake libertarian? I voted for cuccinelli. I said I am a small L libertarian on most issues. But make no mistake, voting third party is a sure way to elect democrats.
You did say (small l). Trouble is “guilt by association” is often spot on and libertarians are proving to simply be anarchists who are happy to see trouble brewing and tyrants empowered, somehow thinking they can hide in the noise and smoke.
Many of us that rallied with and voted with Tea Party have a wee bit of that (small l) but can see that libertarian is truly every man for himself.
Many local Tea Party gaggles had “control” rapidly absconded by wild-eyed libertarians, which led to most of us backing away from “their brand’ of protest and rallies. Tea Party, the true gut feel conservative movement, not the “Party” is much more common sense with more opportunity for success.
