I will admit, however, part of the problem is due to the LP platform. It does need tweaking.

How do you 'tweak':

Same sex / any sex marriage
Open borders
Legalized drugs
End of war on terrorism?

I'm not that concerned about "same-sex marriage", but if you think it's that important, then propose a blanket, nationwide ban on it. That'll require monkeying around with the Constitution, and liberals would LOVE to make some changes of their own if we ever get under the hood.

"Open borders": I take Boortz' position... if you're from somewhere else, and you wanna come here so bad, fine; but you pay your own damn way, no siphoning off the dole, and if you're a criminal in your old country, you can damn well stay there.

"Legalized drugs": I'm not for all of them being legalized, so that would be the change to the LP platform in my book. But lets' be real about the whole drug thing: If the Drug Worriers are so concerned, then get a Constitutional amendment added that makes the WoD legitimate. Like Prohibition. Put it on paper, and take it out of bastard-war status.

"End of war on terrorism": I don't like the LP's position on that anymore than you do, cin, but I am something of a non-interventionist - we ONLY need to be getting involved in other peoples' squabbles when it's ABSOLUTELY necessary.

However, I'd like to pull a regime change in Cuba. But that's just a personal grudge.
