I would term myself a libertarian … just FYI …
But if these folks are genuine, WHY did they suddenly come out within a month of when a Democrat came into office rather than one of the absolute worst tax & spenders in history was in office for 8 years? (i.e. Bush, who is directly to blame for at the very least all of the reasons that a massive bailout and stimulus were needed)
