Two-thirds of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents said they want their member of Congress to “keep their promises and stick to principles” as opposed to “compromise in a bipartisan way to get things done.”
“From Obamacare on down, sticking to principle is where the Republican base is today,” said David Kirby, vice president of opinion research at FreedomWorks. “It’s an example of how off the Republican establishment is from their base.”
Social issues have become less salient to GOP voters: 41 percent said gay marriage is not one of their top 10 issues. Asked about abortion, about one-third said it is one of the top three issues they care about; another third said it is not in the top three but somewhere in the top 10 and the final third said it is not one of their top 10 concerns.

>> He is pro gay, pro abortion, somewhat anti gun rights, nanny state closet liberal.
Sounds like he’d fit well in the anus of the Libertarian Party where a lot of other libs and anarchists enjoy circulating.
Any “libertarian” that is pro-kill is not a libertarian.
yet the same Govt is forcing us to accept their homo perversion, drugs etc
Last I checked this site is pro family, ;Last I checked we have freedom of religion. , last I checked liberaltarians have more in common with liberals minus taxes
they harp about freedom from Govt and yet it is Govt forcing us to accept their communist agenda.
All liberaltarians want is anarchy and no laws, some for their perversion some because they care only about themselves.
changes because some want it to change and look at the crap we have today because of liberal, communist liberaltarian policies.
Yea we’re doing frigging fine arn;t we, SARC
EXACTLY.
Just because some want to get high, drink and drive, have sex with little 14 year old girls and have no laws for anything does not mean I or my family should change.
The founders said and gave us freedom of religion , something the left including liberaltarians hate.
Now people are being sued, businesses destroyed and boycotted due to their sick twisted agenda.
>> How many liberaltarians have been banned on here for pushing their liberal agenda
I’m dubious about govt control of narcotics as far as it concerns the adult demo. I’m not interested in its availability, but question the cost, corruption, policing, and bureaucracy. Regarding morality, the govt is making it worse, so I don’t see a problem relinquishing that “responsibility” from the freaks in DC.
The Libertarian Party is about establishing law to permit things that should otherwise succumb to its own weight.
Small govt is the answer.
>> Times change, and so do societal values.
You’re not saying anything.
Put the feds back in the constitutional box.

Ignore? This is what libertarians ABHOR!
The (L) would NEVER let this, let alone condone, type of behavior of the gov’t like the (R).
I agree with the caveat there must be common sense, federal level protection for those that are not functioning adults.
Only a few can make a coherent argument against libertarianism. Most others spout ignorance.
1. It is impossible to have "no values".
2. Governments always ends up enforcing the values that it holds.
3. Enforcing neutrality is a purge.

There should be a uniform, minimum age of consent which can be the same minimum age requirement for military service. I agree otherwise.
Here here, I couldn’t agree more.
Ask a “Libertarian” if his Social Security or Medicare should be cut, and suddenly, you will get a whole new philosophical 3 card Monty presentation about what Big Government is “good”, and what Big Government is “bad.”
Which presumably means that 59 percent say it is. So try again.
Asked about abortion, about one-third said it is one of the top three issues they care about;
And if one out of every three people you meet on the street told you they wanted to burn your house to the ground, would you listen? Only in the Republican Party would they not. And they're about to lose their house.
Moral of the story: polls can be made to say whatever you want them to say. The core of the Republican Party remains evangelicals and evangelical Christians. When they leave, the Republican Party dies. Simple as that.
And here you summed up the problem with Conservatives vs. (L).
(L) want to return to a A1S8 gov’t. (C) on the other hand have moving goals, all (OK, most, IMHO) abhorrent to the Constitution.
You said you just want to return to pre-LBJ. That presumes you’re humky-dorey w/ the FDR New Deal?
No? How about the Progressive Movement of Woodrow Wilson?
Damn....How about ol’ Teddy’s Progressiveness?
Where does (C) begin? With the (L) Party, it begins and ends w/ A1S8....pure and simple.
See, (L) are, and have been, quite rock-steady in their beliefs. For Citizens of able body and mind (see, here is where CHILDREN are excluded....being wards of their parents and/or State, and under the age of consent) where no Rights nor Liberties are denied to any other party unknowingly or unwillingly, gov’t (and their nanny state enablers) should but the F* out.
I think Pen (of Pen and Teller) summed it up the best (and I’m paraphrasing here): I’m a (L) because I’m smart enough to known I don’t have all the answers to FORCE rules upon anyone else to live by
Any other pre-constitution era you would like to cite?
Liberaltarians want no laws while paying no taxes, they want incest laws to be gone, for their dirty perverted agenda. Sell drugs next to schools, prostitutes outside schools, no drinking and driving laws, no sex age laws so the old men can have sex with little 12 year old girls. Inject heroin in public in front of a family.
You forgot the part about drinking the blood of babies and clubbing seals in your disappointing attempt at character assassination.
First amendment, freedom of religion, something liberals hate.
Then go find a liberal to bitch at. I'm all for you to be free to worship however you choose.
