South Carolina Republican Mark Sanford responded to Senator Lindsey Graham’s comments regarding libertarianism, slamming the ideologue saying “We are not going to build a party around libertarian ideas." For Graham’s speech.
Now Mark Sanford.
There was almost a pejorative comment a moment ago. Sen. Graham spoke and said “I’m not a libertarian,” whatever, whatever, as if that’s an evil word. Liberty is the hallmark of the American experiment … People say, you know, “Mark, you’re kind of libertarian,” you know, and they say it as if it’s an evil word, like you’re a communist or something. I’m like: Throw me in that briar patch … I’ve been accused of being a libertarian and I wear it as a badge of honor.
I agree with the assertion that Graham is one of the many reasons of what’s wrong with the Republican party. No message. No leadership. Little unity and explosive repudiations of trivial name calling. I’m a self-confessed libertarian. So admittedly, I’m a bit biased. However, if the choice is between a Republican and a Democrat and a Libertarian chooses to vote, which side do you think he’s more likely to choose? So why is someone like Graham so repulsed when it comes to Libertarians, who have similar viewpoints as Republicans on some issues?
