Justin Amash - First Libertarian in Congress

Forums:

Good to see defections on the right to a third party.

Don't agree with a lot of the libertarian platform, but still nice to have more diversity in congress.

What about Rand Paul?

Rand Paul is still an "R" 

This dude just switched to "L"  

And he is running for president.

Rand Paul's "R" stands for "Righteous Libertarian" (we call them Libretarians).

 

Here in KY, we recognize a good libretarian when we see one.

 

I hadn't heard of Amash, and hopefully his election is indeed a sign of defection.

 

Libertarianism is interesting as a philosophy that could certainly be practiced, but I've nearly come to accept it as merely another word for republican.

His candidacy will be a lot more damaging to trump than it will to sleepy joe at the booth. 

Justin Amash is an attention seeking whore who was desperate for some press.  Any real Libertarian should be disgusted at this blatant attempt to use their platform for his personal gain.

he's a hardcore republican.
