I could post a lot of links to clear up all the misinformation about what he's written about Walker - but why? I've seen how a lot of movement Libertarians work.

Weird self-contradictory article.

Follow the money - it must be flowing to Walker.

After the SC primary if Jeb Bush is the only GOPe candidate remaining in the race, and more than one of the others remain in the race, Bush will be the nominee. Dividing votes is a sure path to losing.

Why would Rand be worried if Losertarians don’t like Scott Walker?? I’d think it would be opposite.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

If this article reflects "conventional" thinking in the Libertarian camp - Rand is worried.

So, Rand won the straw poll, as he did in 2013 and 2014, and as his father did in 2010 and 2011, Mittens having won in 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2012.

But Walker won the dark blue Media Value Share, whatever that is, with Rand coming in third, behind Walker and Bush.

Not sure what to make of it.

Walker is NOT FROM a free work State...
victim of predatory parasitic UNIONS...
has nothing against treasonous UNIONS..
merely wants some limits on them..

cannot get elected if he was against treasonous UNIONS..
he tolerates them.. much like Myth Romney.. George Bush Jr..

AND most other republicans..

4 MONTH siege and aftermath: The 2011 Wisconsin protests were a series of demonstrations in the state of Wisconsin in the United States beginning in February involving at its zenith as many as 100,000 protesters] opposing the 2011 Wisconsin Act 10, also called the "Wisconsin Budget Repair bill." Subsequently, anti-tax activists and other conservatives, including Tea Party advocates, launched small pockets of counter protests. The protests centered on the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison, with satellite protests also occurring at other municipalities throughout the state. Demonstrations took place at various college campuses, including the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. After the collective bargaining bill was upheld by the Wisconsin Supreme Court on June 14, the number of protesters declined to about 1,000 within a couple days.

The protests were a major driving force for recall elections of state senators in 2011 and 2012, the failed recall of Governor Scott Walker in 2012 and a contentious Wisconsin Supreme Court election in 2011."...............

Interesting article. Years ago, I thought I became a Libertarian. I agree marriage should be no business of the government. Are Libertarians pushing the Homonazi agenda too? We are at war in too many countries, so I know I am trending Libertarian. Abolish the Department of Everything and restart. I know supporters were bused in.. anyone who buses in supporters does not get my attention. Did the Libertarians do that too? This is where politics gets in the way of rational democracy.

I don't have first hand information but I read that the Paul supporters at CPAC voted for Paul as their 1st and 2nd choice.

Feb 28, 2015:Can Rand Paul's CPAC straw poll win streak be stopped? "..........Paul’s supporters were out in force to cheer him on Friday with throngs of backers wearing "Stand with Rand" buttons to cheer him on.

Members of a libertarian group Young Americans for Liberty said they’d brought in hundreds of Paul supporters from all over the East Coast, and some said they took full advantage of a glitch in the electronic voting system allowed them to choose Paul as both their first and second choices.

Paul will also likely draw big support from members of the Leadership Institute, a libertarian-leaning nonprofit and CPAC sponsor that trains young grassroots conservatives and had a large presence at the event....."

>> household income has slipped about .01%

Ouch, $10 for every $100k earned...

That’s a net a positive in this economy.

I’m not a “Libertarian”, but when I take “what are you” quizzes, I always end up “libertarian”. One of the results is in my profile.

I’d really like to see a “Constitution” party.

And my preferences are Walker, Cruz and Paul a distant third. I live in rural KY, btw. (after 45 years in Seattle).

....(after 45 years in Seattle).

You have Post Traumatic Socialism Disorder.

Rand Paul is over encouraged by having been elected to an assistant Dog Catcher position. He needs to tak a heaping helping of Shut Up and go away.

[albie]

Because Walker said he thinks Obama loves America?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Right.

You buying that?

[Tax-chick]

It appears “libertarians” dislike Gov. Walker because he’s for marriage and against drug legalization.

Why wouldn’t I? He said it. Conservatives would’ve loved him joining Rudy on that. I’m sure the media would’ve had a hay day with it, but nothing he utters will go without dissection and misinterpretation.
