Comments on: What sort of libertarian supports "don’t ask, don’t tell"? http://ragesoss.com/blog/2007/06/05/what-sort-of-libertarian-supports-dont-ask-dont-tell/ assorted blogging by Sage Ross Fri, 11 May 2012 13:25:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: keystroke-ga http://ragesoss.com/blog/2007/06/05/what-sort-of-libertarian-supports-dont-ask-dont-tell/comment-page-1/#comment-33 keystroke-ga Fri, 08 Jun 2007 20:57:00 +0000 http://ragesoss.com/blog/?p=86#comment-33 Also, remember that many of the Democratic candidates do not have much better views on this sort of thing. Hillary Clinton said that gay people should be allowed to serve, but she said she didn't know whether it was immoral or not to be gay (how can you not have an opinion on that either way??). Ron Paul says what he actually thinks, rather than the other politicians who listen to their corporate and lobbying interests and the pollsters. That's why I like him.

I thought he stated his case well.
