If you can take it, watch Justin Amash on ABC News 'This Week'.
He throws out libertarian comments from time to time, but his real positions are extremely different.
He is not, for example, against foreign meddling. He stated that "we haven't achieved success yet" in Syria and that he "wants to get the chemical weapons out."
On the domestic front, he wants to cut government spending, but nothing "drastic."
As for Obamacare, he wants to "delay it a year."
Bottom line: Another phony libertarian that MSM will have no problem promoting as a libertarian and featuring on Sunday morning talk shows.

People...get this through your THICK skulls. Getting people elected in The Imperial City WILL NOT be the solution. It is just too corrupting an influence.
ReplyDeleteGreat, the EPJ opposes a delay of obamacare. I will stick with Amash.
ReplyDeleteRobert is clueless...Justin is the next Ron Paul.
ReplyDeleteWhat an insult to the good doctor.

ReplyDeleteFoxnews interviews Jesse tentadue to discuss the missing okc tapes. Must watch! Wenzel please post this on the blog! Maybe this story can get some fraction if fox picks it up?
A "New Ron Paul" who is ok with tax increases? I don't find this new Ron Paul to be especially inspiring...
ReplyDeleteHe voted for sanctions on Iran and for the appropriations funding of the govt that Paul voted against every year. Not even close to Ron
DeleteJustin is not ok with tax increases
ReplyDeleteNot nice of Bronstein and you to sully Justin's near perfect Libertarian rep

Why leave readers with the impression that Amash is suspect?
The same jbs who fired William Norman Grigg for writing too much about the police state?
