Huh, because only 48% of the tea-party at a rally where Ron Paul was speaking were Libertarians, and that is with a highly skewed audience where the Ron Paul fans come out in force, the actual number of Libertarians in the tea party is probably more reflected by Ron's vote at a tea-party rally focused on Palin, Bachman etc, he got a mere 8% of the vote there.
Yeah, he's much more a tool of the religious right than anything else.
Agreed, that wasn't my point. I've noticed that libertarians frequently vote for the Republican thinking that this move will bring "less government". Since the days of Reagan saying "government IS the problem", Republicans talk a good game but don't walk it when it comes time to make policy.
Last election is a great example. Prior, they spoke of "big government" and after the election, it seems like one abortion legislation piece after another.
