The truth is, they hate and are jealous of the West and will make up any reason to oppose us (later Osama saw the utility of blaming Israel.
The LP is the same way. They don't care what the reason is, they make it up. They want to defeat Republicans. That's it. And they don't care who they hurt in the process.
Answer me this: the LP is widely credited with costing Slate Gorton (sp?) the election in WA, giving us two of the most moronic Senators from Washington. How many small government small-l libertarians have been elected to statewide office in Washington?
Better question: how many pork-free budgets did the Republican Congress pass? How many times did the GOP senate candidate say "I will not vote for pork?"
I accept that these people did not vote correctly. But at least I understand why they voted the way they did--they were understandably frustrated with the GOP's complete ignorance of its responsibility for the big government expansion under Bush.
I can't, however, understand how people like you want to be frustrated with THEM, when you should be frustrated with the RINOs and party hacks who let pork through this Congress, and drove these voters away. Voters who in fact ARE important, or you would not be so angry.
