He also only switched parties once, not "several times". The Libertarians did support him so much and still do that they openly continue to finance them of their own volition, which would indicate their affiliation with him, if anything.

Anyway, what I like about him is that when I listen to him talk I genuinely feel like I'm getting less BS than Rudy McRomney and their ass-kissing pundits. He speaks what I think on nearly every subject. He, based on his voting record, seems to make decisions that more closely align with preserving liberties given to us in the Constitution. He was the only person on stage talking about our philosophy and thinking patterns on government as a means to improving this country (which means he wants to initiate a fundamental movement via we the people - meaning he knows where power really ought to lie) rather than talking about having the government do this or that to solve the issues.

That's just for starters.
