His response, "eh, I voted for him twice". I'll never forget that. My buddy hates religion and likes weed so he votes Democratic. But talking to him he's clearly a very free market limited gov't type guy. It was funny.
Pretty clearly people like him are not the norm. We generally associate certain beliefs with those who people vote for. Most people who vote Democratic (for President) probably wouldn't say they support limited government, reduced gov't spending and taxes and limited entitlements like you but kind of the beauty that not everyone has to think or believe the same thing no matter how they vote.
