Wait a second here. Didn't you just say that I said "Bush is an extremist libertarian"?

Compared to other past Presidents Bush certainly does well on the libertarian scale. --- In [email protected], "James Landrith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Actually Eric, you said so right here (your subject line), which had nothing > to do with Birnbaum: > > > > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/30812 > > > > > > In addition, you said Bush is "the most libertarian President possibly in > the history of the United States, and the Libertarian Party Libertarians > just yawn."
