Neil Boortz is quoted as saying: "So how did I actually vote when I got that provisional ballot in my hand. Straight Libertarian."

Thank you Neil Boortz. Thanks to you and those who think like you, we now have the Democrats in control of Congress. I hope you and your ilk are very happy.

Free Republic is allegedly a CONSERVATIVE web site. Will you libertarians please go somewhere like Lucianne.com, where you can laugh and smile about how you put the Republicans out of power, and leave Free Republic to the conservatives.

Oh, and one more thing.

Neil Boortz -- GO TO HELL.

[tacticalogic]

I call them liberal-tarians.

Why, how very adult of you.

They are almost universally adolescents, or adolescents trapped in adult bodies.

No mindless pigeonholing there.

[CDHart]

Ditto!

Libertarians the other liberal meat.

[jackieaxe]

please name the true conservative leaders in today's republican party because i sure don't see any

Senator Tom Coburn, Rep Tom Tancreto then the list gets short. When Republicans are in total power for 6 years and then double the size of the Government, pass NCLB, expand Medicare, propose "sensible" immigration reform, they should not bitch about libertarians not voting for them.

[Arkinsaw]

Yeah, lets run off as many voters as we can! Thats a plan!

[Seven Minute Maniac]

Yeah...sure... because people who value small government and liberty are liberal.

[My2Cents]

Boortz reminds me of a spoiled brat.

[Tatze]

The only Congressional race Boortz' vote had an impact on was Georgia's 5th, John Lewis. No Republican ever had a chance there.

Look for blame elsewhere. The fact is that the GOP gave us very few reasons to vote for them, only reasons not to vote for the other guys. That is not a plan for success.

[camle]

just as not all republicans are conservative, neither are all conservatives republican. neither party owns exclusive rights to conservatism.

you're making soem assumptions here...

[agrace]

And the GOP demonstrably ISN'T these days.

Heartily agree. And I'm no libertarian.

And even though I voted for him, this Ohioan isn't entirely sorry Mike DeWine lost. Same goes for Chaffee. Cleaning house can be a very good thing. My hope is that the next two years will be a wake up call for real conservativism - within Congress and out here too.

If Republicans would start acting conservative instead of acting like country club socialists, they wouldn't have so much trouble. They need to act like Reagan more. The Republicans in power in Congress have gotten fat and happy and act like Dems, for goodness sakes. Take your blame somewhere else. Libertarians are more like Reagan than the current Repubs. I'll take the Larry Elders, Milton Friedmans, Cato Institutes of the world before I would take the big government bureaucrats in there now. Good riddance to Denny Hastert and Bill Frist. Governement spending has ballooned under those guys. Bring back Newt.

[Keltik]

I hope the moderators pull this.

Why that's a very freedom-loving attitude. Perhaps we could make this whole thread a violation of a Hate Speech code...

[wagglebee]

So, why didn't the liberaltarians vote for the GOP yesterday?

[N3WBI3]

That would be a period during which conservatives put republicans in control of both hoses and republicans rewarded that by *not* spending money like the democrats..

Perhaps you remember 2000-2006 when republicans put more pork into their work than democrats could have dreamed of..

[steve-b]

LOL -- this whiner reminds me of the DUmmies who insist that they lost the last three elections, not because their message had been rejected by the voters, but because of mysterious shenanigans involving Karl Rove, Diebold, the Bavarian Illuminati, and probably little green men from Mars.

[servantboy777]

It's everyones fault but the republicans in office.

Runaway federal deficit,
Open borders,
Stagnant war,
Huge lopsided trade gap,
Sanctuary status in major cities for illegals,
Exploding entitlement programs,
Great paying jobs being shipped overseas,
Amnesty for illegals,
Growing Islamic threat in Michigan,
Push toward American union/Trans Texas corridor
Politicians playing with the help,
Corruption,
Putting our service persons on trial for fighting.

Yea, people are fed up. Blame the lack of leadership, not the voter.

[Nav_Mom]

Is it hysterical to notify Boortz advertisers how we feel about him?
I haven't listened to Boortz in almost a year. It galls me to know he slid in on the tails of Hannity & Limbaugh.
The local radio station here is very leftest and I know one of the reasons Neal is allowed to stay is because he is a big Christian Hating, abortion loving ""moderate"
I'm guessing Laura Ingram brings in 10 times more listeners than that blow hard, but the Left loves Neal. Hence, he gets to sit on his undeserved thrown & spew.

[tgusa]

Nor in Virginia.

Libertarians the other liberal meat.

And you wonder why we lost? We have at least 5 posters with Libertarian leanings state they voted Rep. Keep it up and Hitlery will be president.

[Spyder]

So let's see. You're mad at Libertarians for going away and not voting the Republican ticket but you want them to go away and stay away? What doesn't fit in this picture?

Yep, permanent minority status is what I see in your future. FWIW, my own philosophy is generally libertarian though with strong military/hawkish tendencies. I voted a straight republican ticket. Do you really think that by losing the Libertarians you can actually win more "true conservatives" to your cause?
