I'm not proud; I'll claim him

In American politics, a libertarian Democrat is a member of the Democratic Party with libertarian-leaning political viewpoints or views that are relatively libertarian compared to the views of the national party. [1] [2]...

Libertarian Democrats support the majority of positions of the Democratic Party. However they do not necessarily share identical viewpoints across the political spectrum; that is, they are more likely to support individual and personal freedoms.

In general they support tax cuts, Second Amendment rights, same-sex marriage, the decriminalization of marijuana, a non-interventionist foreign policy, and to a certain extent, hard money. They are more likely to oppose deficit spending, protectionism, subsidies (especially to corporations) race-based affirmative action and many regulations on small businesses.

They staunchly support civil liberties and agree with the national party's stances on civil rights, separation of church and state, and habeas corpus for unlawful combatants; they oppose indefinite detention without trial or charge, the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, the USA PATRIOT Act, warrantless wiretapping, the War on Drugs, bans on gambling, and prohibition of prostitution.

While maintaining a relatively libertarian ideology, they may differ with the Libertarian Party on issues such as consumer protection, health care reform, anti-trust laws and the overall amount of government involvement in the economy.

Lindy Bill has conjured up this amazing fantasy land he lives in. He knows nothing, so it is all made up stuff in his head.

He wouldn't know reality if it bit him on the nose. He is a silly old man.

Steve IS a moderate libertarian Republican. It's just that he lives in a time of LindyBill and Tea Party Republicans. So, he's homeless, politically.
