Dear Everyone;
I may have been totally out of the loop on this - but an article in todays SF Chronicle pointed out that Congressman Ron Paul is an ally of the Traditional Values Coalition and his web site proudly posts the endorsement of Reverend Louis P. Sheldon of Traditional Values Coalition.
I do realize politics can make for strange bedfellows - but the Traditional Values Coalition is one of the strongest homophobic anti-gay groups around. I can't quite fathom how Ron Paul could be considered to be a closet Libertarian running as a Republican and supporting and getting the endorsement of this group. The TVC is an anathema to anything even considered to be Libertarian as to free choice to be what you want to be.
I guess there are some facets to Ron Paul which need some burnishing or we need to re-consider toting him as a shining examplar of Libertarianism.
