Last May, when Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels was pondering a White House bid, Jason Sorens of the University of Buffalo wrote a commentary that went largely unnoticed. Wanting to "take a look at Jon Huntsman," who has been "widely viewed as a 'moderate' Republican, but whose" policies "stake out a position that may be more libertarian than Daniels'," Sorens concluded that after former Gov. Gary Johnson and Texas Congressman Ron Paul, Huntsman offered the most libertarian credentials — besting even Daniels.
Sorens's views deserve recognition in New Hampshire, a generally conservative state with decisively libertarian leanings, as our first-in-the-nation presidential primary approaches.
Without question, Paul and Johnson represent the most libertarian GOP factions, but Huntsman's record and views may be best aligned with President Ronald Reagan's, who stated that "the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism." Sorens suggested labeling Huntsman's philosophy a "no-label libertarianism." In fact, like Reagan's, Huntsman's views might be best described as "middle-America libertarianism."...

Yes, he was all over both threads. Not sure which post was the last straw, but it's nice he's gone.

Might as well go all the way with Gary Johnson. Not much difference on illegal immigration.

Libertarians are Democrats who don’t want to pay their taxes. I have noticed libertarian is the new catch all for those too embarrassed to say they are liberals or democrats. A guy I work with is a nearly a communist and he tries to say he's a libertarian. I have to educate him on the basic principles of being a libertarian which aren't only "people can do drugs and have sex with who ever they want to and you can't say anything about it".

I love Monty Python.
Old retro llama got smacked with something more virtually lethal than a fish, though.
The Demwits and Libtards just have to face the fact that they can say whatever they want here, but they have to suffer the consequences of their proselytizing for leftist, anti-Constitution, America-destroying candidates, agendas, laws, and causes.
