Libertarians for Ron Paul

Alan Buckley, the Libertarian who may decide a Senate race

David Weigel profiles the Libertarian candidate for U.S. Senate in Georgia, Alan Buckley:

“The bailout cut right to Buckley’s message. “I was against it, and I explained what I wanted to do instead,” he explained before the debate. “I like tax cuts but only when they’re matched with spending cuts, and I’ve proposed a 25 percent across-the-board cut in spending apart from Social Security. If we did that right now it would balance the budget, allow the Social Security surplus to be funded, and provide for tax cuts.” ”

“Neither of Buckley’s opponents care to get that specific about slashing government. “I’m running against two Democrats, basically,” Buckley grumbled as a GPB attendant pointed him toward the green room. Cobb County Libertarian activist David Chastain put it a little differently: “He’s running against two socialists.” ”
