I think the people who lean liber(al)tarian and conservatives could build a majority coalition.

You're not doing much for coalition building with your insulting addition to the word "libertarian."

It is what it is.

Now, now. They use it as an underhand jab at the (L) all the time.

Myself, I’ve taken it as a badge of honor. Liberal = Liberty. The only stigma it has received is from the co-opting of the Left/DEMs.

I find it most ironic that some of those of the ‘Conservative’ bent (whatever they may be trying to conserve, I still don’t know) routinely begin their screeds using those same co-opted words/ideas:

- Shouting Fire in a theater = unconstitutional
- S.S/Medicare being ‘paid into’ = obligation
- Patriot Act under Bush = OK, O = bad

Christie is a perfect example of those types of (R).

If you ever want to win a national election again then you had better stop insulting conservatives that lean libertarian. There is a huge difference real Libertarians and those of us that want a small constitutional government that protects individual liberty.
