Libertarians are for
Lower taxes
Smaller government
gun rights
personal retirement accounts
are against government funded health care
Now how exactly are these "radical" views of a nutjob who is not really a republican?

Did I say he was radical? Did I say he was a nutjob? Have I said anything negative about Paul at all? No, I said he has only the smallest chance of winning and that his position is a minority one.
Did I say he wasn't really a Republican? No, I said "Even though a Republican he's pretty much a libertarian". That is very true. He is an elected Republican
with strong libertarian beliefs.
There's no such thing as TRUE republican values. That's like saying that only people who hold one set of beliefs are TRUE americans. Ron Paul is more libertarian (today's standards) than any elected Republican president ever.
