188. "Libertarian who made his money being a pseudo-liberal/progressive". This is why I will always.....

despise Bush/Cheney. They brought about an unholy coalition whereby "libertarianism" and "liberalism" got all tangled up together, and created this two headed monster.

It's like Ron Paul & Dennis Kucinich had a love child, everyone knows this is one unattractive baby, but you're not allowed to say so, in polite society. As Thom Hartmann used to say, "Libertarians are just Republicans who want to get laid and smoke dope".
