So according to you, a person needs to agree 100% with a particular party's platform? Is there some kind of purity test you would be satisfied with? Martin Sheen is a well known democrat but is anti a******n. Does that disqualify him from being a democrat?
That is not the issue. A******n is a personal choice and libertarian philosophy endorses that position. Rand Paul did endorse that for years until it became politically expedient to abandon the libertarian philosophy and suddenly he is anti-a******n. That is political expediency and indicates the softness of his adherence to libertarian values.
