He can speak for himself, of course, but I’d say that guys like this is a pretty big reason that there are an awful lot more people who believe in libertarian principals than belong to the Libertarian Party.
“I believe in less government and more freedom, and, and, dude! You’re a blue, quack, millennialist freak! And you’re at the top of the party? Jeez, maybe putting up with a bunch of fundies isn’t so bad after all.”
I’m a proud member of the libertarian party, and I’ll vote Libertarian even though I know there is a slim chance that the libertarian candidate will win. I vote my conscience. I’m not compromising my beliefs so that tweedle dee can win over tweedle dum, because they both are going to do the same thing: increase government, decrease freedom.
