A truly moronic comment. His political philosophy is libertarian, but is a member of the Republican party. He was the Libertarian party candidate for president in '88, but that was after he served several terms as a Republican. He has a 20 year track record as a Republican congressman, and only one failed election as a Libertarian.
The Republican party has lots of factions. Social conservatives, fiscal conservatives, paleo conservatives, neo conservatives, moderates, libertarians, Rockefeller republicans, and even that most strange breed - Log Cabin republicans. For the party to regain Congress, and hopefully retain the presidency, none should be shown the door.
You just shot yourself in the foot. I am far from moronic. I also have manners, which you have demonstrated a lack of.
You confirm my statement that he is a Libertarian in your second sentence. One can be a member of any Party, yet not espouse their beliefs.
I know the Republican Party has many factions. Why do you think the Log Cabin Republicans are strange? Where would you expect them to be? The Republicans are more inclusive than the Democrats who have only one faction due to their intolerance for anything except the far Left.
