And people wonder why I ask questions and have 150 posts a day, because others can’t answer them and stay on topic. Is Massie a libertarian or a Republican?

If they’re republicans why does it matter that I’m asking about my party? Are they republicans or libertarians?

A fiscal conservative who is sick of our government printing money and giving out blank checks. Left and right wing nuts bring the hate on him, but he’s one of the few in Washington with any common sense at all.

Of course it devolved quickly. That is the point. You had to know it would as all your Massie threads do this. Even when your thread about term limits had a discussion going, you invoked Massie’s name and things got rolling.

But to your OP, conservatism has libertarian elements. Republican does not necessarily mean conservative. Any politician’s vote is going to be scrutinized. You want scrutiny on his. There is plenty in every thread about Massie. He is definitely not above reproach. None of them are.

This is from Google AI

The Republican Party is known to support right-leaning ideologies of conservatism, social conservatism, and economic libertarianism, among other -isms. Thus, Republicans broadly advocate for traditional values, a low degree of government interference, and large support of the private sector

So according to that, Massie is closer "ideologically" to someone who defines as a Republican than Trump.

To answer your question, Massie is a libertarian in the Republican Party.

So it’s my fault I start political threads on a political board and it irritates some so much they immediately derail the thread and start calling me names? Why can’t they just ignore the threads or simply answer the question? Would you care to see some of the stuff that has been said to me? Why is it always the same group of people who attack me?

I will say that you and SClibertarian are two people who are actually proud libertarians and I honestly respect that. I can understand why I’ve caught negative attention from you and him. It’s the others who cannot answer the questions that only like Massie because he’s against Trump.

I would imagine that group looks at Massie in a different light than you do and feel your repeated threads about him are meant to be inflammatory. Are there any things he has done, votes he has cast, or stances that he has taken with which you agree?

Yes and I’ve made threads about them. You’re free to actually look at my post history. In fact most of my Massie threads are directly from his own twitter.

Also, many view Massie as a Libertarian purist which is problematic in practice. I don’t think he is that though. I personally believe he thought with all three chambers being Republican, there would be more fiscal responsibility and less interventionism. I believe he has genuine disagreements with the President, whereas Democrats will vote against anything whether it is good or bad just because they hate him.

True republicans are vastly libertarian and anti-war

Which is why he never attacks his own legislature, but has voted with democrats, didnt vote to censure ilhan Omar, spends time on the Epstein files but not congressional hush fund and has some personal war with the president. Again I also don’t think I’m just critical over small things. Trump is one person I’m worried about the 535 who don’t do shite and that hasn’t changed one bit, even controlling the house, senate and executive. Trump has signed 100% of Massie’s bills but Massie has been against many of his own party leaders agenda.
