Your point?

That is a long ass way from being the record of a libertarian.
For those who actually know who Feingold is, he's a liberal who believes in government, Social Security, Civil Rights, and a range of liberal issues that define him as a LIBERAL, not a libertarian.
AND he believes in a socio-ethical responsibility of Americans to each other .. his focus is NOT on the individual .. which is THE defining cut-off for libertarianism. If the person has compassion, spirituality, and feels a sense of responsibility for fellow Americans .. that person is probably not a libertarian.
"Horse shit"????
So not only do you not know who Feingold is, you also don't even know who libertarians are ...
For your edification .. From Antiwar.com, a libertarian site, an article by Joesph Stromberg, noted libertarian writer ...

I guess you'll now be claiming anyone who didn't vote for republicans or Bush is a libertarian.
Libertarians are closer to republicans than they are to democrats or the left. I'm sure there were more than a few libertarians votin g for Bush and republicans.
