I've enjoyed your salient observations. Arguing issues with most Libertarians is fruitless. It's like debating particle physics with a 4 year-old. The LP's understanding of the legislative process is very naive and shortsighted, at best. If a few LP candidates were ever capable of being elected to either the U.S. House or Senate, they would soon realize legislation is not made by edict, and would further learn about legislative counsel, statutory committee markups with Democrats (before bills are reported), enacting clauses/provisions within legislation, as well as myriad Senate rules. Then perhaps the LP would quickly realize the Republicans are not to be faulted for every over-funded, budget buster which passes. Once they realize they have to work with and yes, against Democrats, they will finally know it's easier said than done.

Thanks for the enlightenment.

Now we can see why the dems can get agenda thru when they are in the minority and the pubbie president advances an ever increasing federal government when he is working with a pubbie majority.

All you are doing is making excuses for Bush and company to expand government. Is the point of your effort to make us forget that the POTUS has veto power and that he can stop a lot of this crap? That Bush did not use the bully pulpit or spend some of his (once plentiful) political capital to advance a real conservative agenda speaks volumes.
