Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

I don't think I have even the slightest quibble with these three paragraphs about Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee.
I'll just add that I saw somewhere a few months ago the results of a poll indicating that members of Congress are, on the average, more libertarian than the average person who is eligible to vote. Big government doesn't happen because of some cabal, it happens because it's popular. The solution isn't to break the conspiracy, or whatever, it's to explain to people why they should like freedom. And why they should oppose people like Mike Huckabee and John Edwards (who I think of as pretty similar) with every fiber of their being.
