A: I certainly hope so. The Republican Party has traditionally been the party of liberty and limited government. Republicans like Robert Taft, Barry Goldwater, and Ronald Reagan had very libertarian qualities. If the G.O.P. gets back to its roots, they can appeal once again to liberty-minded Americans.</i> Reagan as libertarian leaning? I've never understood how people get away with this claim. From the union busting to his less than modest foreign policy. . .the guy was an interventionist. This interview is more proof that Paul is a conservative, not a libertarian.

The thing is that I am not sure I wanted Ron Paul to run as a libertarian anyway. He spent far too much money during the primaries running anti-immigration ads and things like that for my tastes.

The deck is stacked, guys! The sooner more libertarians recognize that and focus on non-electoral activism, the better. Yet another strike against libertarian activism in the electoral arena.
