That's why I've been calling myself a Constitutionalist vice libertarian more lately. I agree with you on where freedom's lines should lie, but in the shorter term I'd just be happy to get back to the rulebook for the USA.
Actually, my statement isn't ironic at all. This is an election for a Congressman, if we can get, one race at a time, over time (incremental kinda) a significant minority or even majority of such like-minded members (even if not ideologically pure "L") THEN (and only then) there's a chance in hell of getting a turn to the Libertarian side in actual law and policy.
Note that Rand is not running the same way the RP campaign got pushed, nor is he operating on a nationwide, thus higher profile, level for his more alarming (to the unfamiliar) ideas to draw fire.
This is exactly the kind of incremental gain, one seat at a time, we need.
