“Last week, I got three emails from the Ron Paul camp telling me to “VOTE FOR McCLINTOCK!” and so did everyone who was in McClintock’s district and gave a dime to Ron Paul.

Now if McClintock wins by such a small edge, are you going to give credit where credit is due and admit Ron Paul helped him? “

Of course. last time I checked, Ron Paul was and is a Republican Party member, not a Libertarian Party member. As a freedom-liberty Republican, I want all the liberty-oriented conservatives in the GOP tent, with me, Ron Paul and others like us. Its unity like this which wins elections. Its division that delivers elections to the socialists.

Note: I am not criticizing small-l libertarians. I am specifically criticizing the Libertarian Party and their deliberate strategy to defeat Texas conservatives and elect socialist Democrats.

“Or are you just looking for someone to kick after McCain lost and libertarians looked like the easiest target?” What a foolish question. I am not even mentioned McCain’s race on this thread and we all know 3rd parties had zero factor on the race and a dozen more important factors.

Again, my apologies. Initially, I misunderstood you.

http://www.gopwing.org/ The head of that group, Rod Martin, made the EXACT SAME POINT you made in a speech about what was the problem in the party. The blue-haired ladies.

Actually, it's usually easier to change the minds of the "blue haired ladies" than it is of "the blue haired guys" -- the old ladies will often do 15 mph in the right lane when you want her to get out off the road. But the old men will do 15mph in the LEFT lane, and then look smuggle satisfied that they are in front of you, holding you back!

NFRA is about taking the party back to having a conservative spine, and Rod’s point is that its the little old ladies who are status quo power oriented who are the real roadblock to advancing the agenda.

Great! "Btw, great piece here - Black dog Republicans: http://www.gopwing.org/babbin-black-dog-republicans/"

I read it and agree that you can't always have the perfect candidate to vote for, but at what point does it become routine to be accepting the unacceptable? To choose the lesser of evils, so that all you keep getting is evil? It's a hard choice.
