Libertarianism’s Cross-Cutting Appeal
from Cato-at-liberty by David Boaz
By David Boaz

NPR’s Ari Shapiro reports from New Hampshire on Ron Paul, including this heart-warming story:

  • Robin and Tom Jacubic are husband and wife who had sat on opposite ends of the political spectrum for years.

  • “I was for Ned Lamont because he was anti-war,” says Robin, “and when the Democrats took over in 2006, nobody did anything to stop the war, so I found Dr. Paul from there.”

  • “He is the only one in the Republican race that knows what he’s doing, knows what he’s saying and has the answers,” adds her conservative husband.

  • After a decade of married life supporting opposing political candidates, “We found each other in libertarianism,” says Robin.
For more on fiscally conservative, socially liberal voters, read “ The Libertarian Vote.”
