[QUOTE="farmerbyron, post: 2591070, member: 4953"] As far as I know, he is the only candidate that advocates a more non interventionist approach to foreign policy and has actively opposed NSA spying. Yes, he is jockeying to be the GOP nominee but he is going about it differently than the failed approach of his father. Ron was much more of a purist and true liberty frightens the hell out of the bible thumping base of the GOP. So it looks like Rand is trying to pander to the base of the GOP and at least start to lean them towards liberty. Now he may be a capital R republican after all and disappoint libertarians but he is the most currently viable path to mainstreaming more libertarian ideals. You've expressed support of Rubio in the past. Rand and Rubio share probably 80% of the same views with the divergences coming on foreign policy, domestic spying, and immigration reform. Oh and Rubios youth and ethnicity, which is a factor for you for some reason. I guess I shouldn't have only put up the interesting stuff to me from Rand up here. It has taken the focus off of the rest of the article which has a larger point than just Rand. [/QUOTE]
