If the Rs took the good part of Libertarianism and not the freaky part, that would be good. But the no holds barred porn/prostitution/dope/faggot platform, plus the luv of muzzies, is a deal breaker. The Rs would lose forever that way.
Hey, I’ve got an idea! How about sticking to the Constitutional duties of the fedgov!!!
But wasn't that one of the key issues in Ron Paul's campaign?
My point isn't that R's should adopt every idea espoused by libertarians, or a candidate like Ron Paul, but that attacking those candidates and the voters that support them as a group isn't a helpful political technique. No more than attacking supporters of Rick Santorum would be helpful.
In today's sound bite campaigns, with the media willing to support liberal attack ads it is very hard to promote following the Constitution. But Ron Paul showed that it is an issue that resonates with a sizable group of young voters and that it can be presented in a way which attracts voters. Other Republicans should take note.
It is an issue of course that is 180 degrees away from RINOs like Mitt Romney.
