Palin clearly violates Libertarian principles by advocating against a woman's right to choose as well as advocating prayer in schools and mandatory, state imposed flag whorship. And now she wants to give the executive branch unfettered power to use tax monies to bail out Wall Street.After Thoughthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14383578435476843525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7115973.post-22858859833713720412008-09-28T05:53:00.000-07:002008-09-28T05:53:00.000-07:00The elitist wing of the conservative movement has ...The elitist wing of the conservative movement has always been wary of us libertarians coming into the GOP. Sarah Palin is one of the top elected libertarian Republicans in the country, (along with Idaho's Gov. Butch Otter, and Cong. Jeff Flake of AZ). <BR/><BR/>Of course, she's going to make some conservatives nervous. <BR/><BR/>They are wary of her libertarian cultural views. This is the woman, after all, who famously fought back against social conservatives in Wasilla who wanted to run all of the bars and taverns out of town. <BR/><BR/>They even started a whisper campaign in Alaska during the 2006 primaries that Sarah wasn't really a Republican, but rather a "closet libertarian." She had attended a couple local Libertarian Party meetings seeking their support. <BR/><BR/>But what she loses from the social conservatives, she gains 10 times over in libertarian votes.<BR/><BR/>Figure, Libertarian Bob Barr was polling 6% nationwide in mid-summer. As high as 10% in New Hampshire. And post-Palin he's now down to 1%. <BR/><BR/>With Sarah Palin, the libertarian wing of the GOP has finally arrived. Of course, that's going to make some other Republicans nervous. <BR/><BR/>Get over it Conservatives, THE LIBERTARIANS HAVE ARRIVED!!Eric Donderohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02763399145451696076noreply@blogger.com
