Dude gives his “libertarian democrat” version of Obama and gets dogged by purists in the discussion. Strange that he would use the example of health care and not Obama’s foreign policy. Remember, he is opposed to dumb wars, like most libertarians would be. Certainly the GOP minimal government apostasy (was it always just lip service?) has lesser-of-two-evils mainstream libertarian voters considering the democrats for once. Why not Obama? He’s certainly less statist than McCain, and even if that’s not “libertarian” it’s certainly “more libertarian.” If you want to trade idealism for this type of cynical realism now may be your chance!
