"GLUM Republicans might turn their attention to the Libertarian Party to vent their anger. Libertarians are a generally Republican-leaning constituency, but over the last few years, their discontent has grown plain. It isn't just the war, which some libertarians supported, but the corruption and insider dealing, and particularly the massive expansion of spending. Mr Bush's much-vaunted prescription drug benefit for seniors, they fume, has opened up another gaping hole in America's fiscal situation, while the only issue that really seemed to energise congress was passing special laws to keep a brain-damaged woman on life support."


and the GOP wonders why it lost??? we are sick of hearing about abortion, brain-dead vegetables on life support, burning the flag bans, while the GOP cannot get its act together long enough to reduce the size of government, cut spending across the board ... come on, how stupid is the GOP to really be blaming the libertarians for the GOP loss the GOP brought upon themselves... heres a clue GOP, start acting like conservatives and fix it.

Amen brother. If we stopped whining about these insipid "litmus tests" and got back to the core values (which, by the way, are quite similar to what I call the SMALL L libertarian), Nancy Pelosi would still be some wide-eyed left-wing lunatic back-bencher today instead of number 2 in line for the Presidency!
