These people vote with the majority in your party most of the time. They even supported Dubya for POTUS! But they don't get a lot of respect.

ANYBODY can proclaim themselves libertarian. But LEADERSHIP positions, including (especially) major candidates MUST be purist. Otherwise, an ideological party will just become another "common carrier" party such as the democrats and republicans. > They hate this question. Puts them in a corner.
