Reply #45: Cato is Libertarian [View All]

There happen to be a number of things (I was surprised to learn) that I agree with THEM on. Not all, certainly, but some.

So it doesn't bother me at all that they rated Dean high.

I'm also perfectly comfortable with all his economic plans, and I do absolutely see him as a populist. You can't ask your grassroots supporters to advise you on whether or not to accept matching funds, and thus rely solely on them going forward to fund this campaign -- that makes you nothin' BUT a populist, my dear. Ain't no 2 ways about it. Making yourself accountable to the people and only the people is the most populist thing I can imagine.

As someone on the blog put it: "We ARE campaign finance reform."
