I haven’t heard Palin discuss whether or not she has an Originalist view of the Constitution like I do (if some folks call that “libertarian”, then so be it).
Sure, she sounds good on a few issues, & I think she’s a patriot...but what would she do about advocating the elimination of federal dept’s & buraucracies that voilate the Constitution?
How seriously would she enforce the 10th Amendment?
Would she support having a non-interventionist foreign policy that the Founding Fathers believed in, or would she continue to use our military to fight wars all over the globe rather than defending America first?
Etc., etc., etc.........
I hold that she’s, again, the best you’re possibly gonna get on all those issues—except the one on non-interventionism. I’m not so sure I can say whether she’d be strong on that from what I’ve heard.
Seems like you’d then be a capital ‘L’ Libertarian—and perhaps a Paulista as well?

Look up Palin’s speech in Hong Kong.
I'm less than 100 pages into her book, and so far she hasd mentioned several times how the American and Alaskan constitutions interpreted as the writers intended were the guide for all her views about government functions.

Here's the worst case scenario: If she favored leaving them in place, she would then hold the same view as every other politician with any chance of becoming President.

At least as seriously as any other politician with any chance of becoming President.

I wonder if she supported the 2001 Military Authorization (which didn't declare war, give Congress any say in where a war or wars would be fought, name a country we would take action against or even mention Al Qaida) as Ron Paul did.
Do you think the founding fathers supported government payments for disabilities? What is your position on that? Do you think that's included within an "originalist view of the Constitution"? Where does Paul stand on Social Security disability for those who need it?
BTW, you used to post under the username "libertyman", an account that now shows up as banned. How did that come about?
