Top 5 Non-Libertarian Candidates Endorsed by Ron Paul

4. Kelli Ward

Kelli Ward was endorsed by Dr. Paul to replace John McCain in the senate just this year, even though her record is spotty at best so far, and what solid evidence of her positions we do have through her voting record suggests anti-LGBT, pro-big government funding views. Not exactly libertarian, either.

But no fear, ladies and gents – Ward is “better” than McCain, at least, right? Even though his voting record shows him being far more tolerant toward gay rights, at the very least, allowing the states to deal with marriage rights before the SCOTUS ruling, and even saying that an outright ban of gay marriage was “unRepublican.” He also voted NO on many issues regarding government stimulus. If we are going by even the most right-leaning of libertarian positions on the platform (social tolerance rather that outright social liberalism), McCain still seems to be, on paper, a far more tolerant representative of the people than Ward.

Interesting.
