Note that I have poor typing skills all you want, just don't ignore the point. In many state Conservatives and Libertarians have been screaming at *R*epublicans not to ignore us. In states like OR, NY, CA, and others we have begged and pleaded to throw us a bone. Every so often we are promised something, a conservative viewpoint and yet in these states we never get it.

We have a president who has run up a tremendous deficit by refusing to cap government spending and a senate full of Republicans who have done nothing to stop it. This race is a preview of what will happen when the proverbial straw finally falls.

I am not ignoring the point. The point is that the Libertarians in Oregon seem to have all their animus towards the Republicans and not against the demos.

Because the Demo's never claim to be conservative, nor court conservative votes. If Democrats are running in the race (3-way) than they *ARE* running against the Demo and the republican..

Well, think of it this way...let's say you live in New York City and you have two baseball teams (political parties) to choose to be a fan of...Mets or Yankees. You choose the Mets because the Mets have 6 team members (issues) of which you are a HUGE FAN (you hold these issues dear to you). You aren't a fan of the Yankees at all because they don't have any team members that you are a fan of. Then all of a sudden, the Mets trade your FAVORITE 6 players whom you are a HUGE FAN of and don't offer a good reason. Why would you feel slighted by the Yankees? You never expected anything from them in the first place, because you were never a fan of their team. Does it make any sense to get upset at the Yankees?
