re: #24 Jaerik

TIME has Paul on record saying he’s for the War on Drugs (against legalization of pot), anti gay marriage, pro prayer in schools, etc.

That isn’t libertarianism, that’s social conservatism. You can’t just pluck out the fiscal conservative side of libertarianism, tag on a bunch of social conservative views, and say it’s new.

That’s not libertarianism. That’s the Republican talking points for the past 30 years, just with an added “and we REALLY MEAN IT this time!” Glenn Beck libertarianism: nothing more than Conservatives desperately trying to re-brand themselves as something new.

This is my problem with Rand Paul. He’s combining the worst of Libertarianism with the worst of Republicanism. It’s directly out of a nightmare scenario.
