Mark Kirk A Closet Libertarian?
Libertarian Republican reports on an astonishing statement by Illinois Senator Elect Mark Kirk. "Tonight I stand before you as a fiscal conservative, a social moderate, and a national security hawk."Wow! Another addition to the libertarian wing of the Republican Party. Libertarian Republican goes on to say: Congratulations to the new Republican Senator from the State of Illinois, from the fiscally conservative, socially moderate, national security hawk wing of the GOP.Another video for your amusement: Gonna Win - We're Taking Over. I first became a Libertarian in 1988 when I voted for Ron Paul for President. By 2000 I had been Secretary/Treasurer of the local Libertarian club for 3 years. The 9/11 "event" caused me to become a libertarian Republican because the Libertarian Party was nuts on national defense. We have come a long way baby. From a fringe movement to regular mentions in the national press. Along with a few Senators and Congressmen. I hope to live long enough to see a libertarian Republican President.

"I hope to live long enough to see a libertarian Republican President." What you said. Heck, I'd even settle for a libertarian-libertarian president. And fight him to pieces on defunding the military. ;) Even a libertarian democrat would do. Though I think that's REALLY in the realm of "dream on." Still, would be nice to have someone to vote FOR again. (Since I did the same as you -"The 9/11 "event" caused me to become a libertarian Republican because the Libertarian Party was nuts on national defense." Kathy K · November 4, 2010 07:03 PM Does Kirk plan to join the Liberty Caucus? "I hope to live long enough to see a libertarian Republican President." I would settle for a Calvin Coolidge conservative (not much difference). Bram · November 5, 2010 09:31 AM Post a comment

Yes, Kirk was the Rep for IL-10, which is my Lake County area, and has always been socially moderate, fiscally conservative as reflects the area. He was about the best candidate we could hope for from IL.
