19. A lot of people nowadays fancy themselves 'libertarians' without even
Thu Nov 6, 2014, 09:02 PM
Nov 2014

knowing what the word means. They think being a libertarian is all about legalizing drugs, especially pot, and staying out of other countries' affairs. If it were only that simple. Rand Paul wants to run as a Republican (wink, wink) Libertarian, and people will probably come out of the woodwork to vote for him because he uses that label. Of course he has no intention of doing the things he'll promise to do, but this country is full of suckers who like to be told what they want to hear. It's not so much that they love Rand Paul. They love what he represents to them in their feeble little minds.
