Whoa, hold it there. I have NEVER said that George W. Bush was an "extremist libertarian." What I have said all along is that Jeffrey Birmbaum said on Fox News in 2004 that "George W. Bush was running an extreme libertarian campaign..."
I merely quoted Birmbaum. Of course, I don't agree with him. But I do think it's interesting that the mainstream media like to portray Bush as somewhat limited government, and yet real Libertarians like to bash Bush as being anything but. For me, the truth is somewheres in the middle. Bush is a squishy Moderate Republican with very, very slight Conservative leanings. And I only advocting "Do, Do, Do" for libertarian candidates or friends of libertarians or mainstream politicians who might be persuaded to be more libertarian. Anyway, thanks for the other compliments. --- In [email protected], "James Landrith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Word. > > > > From everything I've read and been told - Eric works his ass off and does an > excellent job on the nuts and bolts of campaigns.
