Here is a different kind of poll.

I'm asking the CD family to weigh in on how you feel about certain high profile politicians.

I voted and you can see my votes. This is how I feel. I hope you'll vote honestly as well, though I won't hold my breath.

All of those are fanatics with the exception of maybe Rand Paul.

He's been headed in that direction lately.

If you mean the direction of the Constitution, yes he's always headed that way.

Funny thing is I always though Pelosi, Obama, and Schumer and Hillary were radical, but I guess compared to AOC, Pocahontas, and Beto the're moderate after all!!!

I wouldn't count any of the Republicans as fanatic, Cruz is conservative but not fanatic. Rand Paul is the closest to being a right wing fanatic. People may include David Duke, Commander Heimbach or Richard Spencer but they're not really on the political spectrum.

I think that both parties have always tried to paint Libertarians as whackjobs because they don't want to upset the status quo.

fanatic and wack job are two different kinds of people. i would for instance describe AOC properly as a wack job, where as someone like pelosi is a fanatic.

I only voted for the Finatics.
I judged the rest of them as ..... what’s good for ME and my Political Career.

My only question would be Meadows, I don’t know much about him.

None of those people are as far-left as I am. I think the word "fanatic" is a bit of a stretch; I'd apply that to someone who is literally a psychiatric case such as Hitler, KKK founders or the Weathermen. I place myself more with Saul Alinsky, Joanne Chesimard or Katherine Boudine in my beliefs.
