Chuck Muth needs to do a little more homework, or he wouldn't put Gary Johnson & Rudy Giuliani together like that. Far from the question of a libertarian purity test, Giuliani is, within the USA, one of the most anti-libertarian prominent office holders I know of. Apparently at a distance from New York City, people have gotten the idea he doesn't fit in well with much of the Republican mainstream, which is true, but not by being excessively libertarian! Giuliani is the type of Republican who outside NYC would be referred to by many as a RINO, but he's actually much worse. Simply put, he's an authoritarian, and a personal power-tripper as well. The present occupant of the White House is far more libertarian than I could ever see Giuliani being.
