Alberto Gonzales
Nice letter from a group of prominent conservatives (http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1610767,00.html):

Fein's prominent enough for a dummy like me to recognize him. He got his mug on TV during some controversy a few years back. Iran-Contra perhaps?
I'm not asking anyone to agree or disagree with him. It's just a nicely written letter from a bunch of guys who were probably delighted to see W get elected back in 2000. |

D--don't act so hurt--you kind of asked for it with your opening line.
Bob Barr? Didn't you read Diego's thread about how he was now a paid lobbyist for the Marijuana Policy Project and had simultaneous with getting that gig, declared he was now a libertarian? |

Libertarian is conservative, no?

No. Libertarian is libertarian and conservative is conservative.
For example, libertarians generally believe in abortion, are against dope laws, believe in a defense force in the true sense of that word, believe that the national government should be designed as outlined in the constitution and have a truly federal relationship with the states. Libertarians believe in free markets, free trade, deregulation of all industries, no proffessional standards (ie, get rid of PE's and the Bar). No, not conservative by any stretch. Many conservatives agree with some of the libertarian philosophy as do many liberals. Both groups tend to pick the parts they like and think the rest are too wacky. B |

Right. John Ashcroft and Tom Delay are two prime examples of non-conservatives. Neither of them respects tradition. Fein, on the other hand, appears to me to be a true conservative. One illustration of his conservatism was the following article he wrote just before the recent elections explaining why true conservatives should not fear a Democratic Congress (http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2006/0610.fein.html):

I doubt that the Libertarian Party will ever be a serious contender simply because the members are so damned independent. Republicrats bemoan the lack of party discipline within their organization but what they have now, I doubt the Libertarian party will ever have, because I cannot imagine (small l) libertarians compromising principles for power. While the Demopublicans compromise like the crackwhores they are. B |
