The United States is having a libertarian moment.

Wanting a smaller more responsible government is not about libertarianism. Its a principle that covers the entire right.

Personally I prefer Ted Cruz but after him I would vote for Paul over just about any name that comes up. (And I'm not going to get pulled into any arguments over which is better)

I won’t vote for Paul, but I want very much to vote for Cruz!

But not everyone on the right is consistent about wanting a more responsible government. Unfortunately, when it comes to consistency in wanting a more responsible gov’t, right now small l libertarians have the market cornered. Those on the right can still work to completely change this, will they?

Pretty much where I am. I'm done with party labels benig used to divide the electorate, but also I believe the nominee from the right of the spectrum has to run on something. Just running against the left isn't going to win. Cruz and Rand both have a message to run on. IMO.
