Libertarian Democrats in Congress

[Ardent15]

Are there any? The late Larry McDonald and Mike Gravel were Libertarian in ideology, but they are no longer in Congress.

1. Ron Paul

No, that's right he still wants the Southern vote so he goes to the party he doesn't like.

[tabatha]

2. He is a republican.

[FLAprogressive]

3. he is a racist, homophobe, anti-choice "free marketeer". Many uninformed DUers think

that he is a progressive because of his anti war on drugs / Iraq war stance. He is nowhere close to being a progressive or being a "Dem" (which really only means you have to have a "D" at the end of your name anymore)

4. Yep, I was looking for the Libertarians within our ranks

Guess there aren't too many.

[FLAprogressive]

5. there are quite a few here at DU, for some reason.

The Ron Paul Admirers Society.....

7. Dennis K?

[FLAprogressive]

9. DK is not a libertarian.....

democratic socialist maybe

[sam sarrha]

6. Libertarians aren't missable with Democracy, they dont even believe in public schools, F'n Nut Cases

they are always polishing their Turd.. still a turd

[Warren DeMontague]

8. It's important to distinguish between "pot, porn, etc. should be legal for adults" libertarianism

and "If your house is on fire, we should let the free market come and put it out" Libertarianism.


BIG difference, but generally lost on the people who want to piss on all "libertarians" equally.
