How would you explain Sanford's anti-gay, anti-marijuana legalization stances? These are not qualities of a liberty candidate.
Those are state level issues my friend. If someone is fiscally conservative, is opposed to the wars and wants a Fed audit, they're good enough for me. If we can get the GOP being perceived like this, we can win over the heart of America and quickly improve our stakes.
I’m not a libertarian. I’m not advocating everyone run around with no clothes on and smoke pot.
Sanford opposes the marriage amendment but like Dr. Paul (and every other elected Paulite or Paul-leaning) he opposes any form of gay rights. Similarly, he opposes marijuana legalization, and presumably also medical marijuana. As to its decriminalization, I don't think he has ever had a position on that.
That's the downside of working within the GOP - you have to be a socially conservative dummkopf.
