Yeah, and with a moronic attitude like that, the Libertarians with whom you might have been able to forge an alliance with on some issues will never come back.
Libertarians constitute less then 1/2% of the electorate. Some estimates place the figure at 250K. Whatever the membership is, Libertarianism is irrelevent. Conservatives may find Libertarians agreeing with them on the need for fiscal responsibility, but the overall Libertarian agenda is too wacky to be taken seriously by rational folk.
Yes, but if I were with CPAC (which I may or may not be), I'd take their money for a booth.
glad to see the log cabins are getting in on the action....
Agreed. It's a free country. CPAC can take money from whoever they choose to associate with.
I'd still like to see them stop voting democrat and to start voting republican.
Party Libertarians are a different animal altogether.
The Losertarians could increase attendance but half their members are stoned...
No they aren't. They're busy working on that petition to have all street signs, guardrails, and traffic lights banned.
Thank you.
Most of these groups should be ideological brethren...with the exception of the ACLU. The Log Cabin Republicans are not very conservative, in fact not very republican, but better under our tent then the other.
I kind of like libertarians, Conservatives that haven't grown up yet and like to smoke dope. Some of the more interesting Ballot issues in Mass have originated with the libertarians, strange group, but interesting.
I would disagree. Many of the Log Cabin Republicans are fiscal conservatives and social liberterians. We, the Republicans, espouse limited government, but have a hard time saying no to government pork.
The Libertarians are an ecclectic group. Some are young and idealistic, others are in for pot restrictions lifted...others are desinfranchised Republicans and others. I think that the desinfranchised Republicans numbers are growing considering the spending policies of the current Administration. Honestly, I am a pretty partisan Republican, but I am tired of the spending traits of the Republicans in Congress and this Administration and have considered voting Liberterian from time to time. Then I come to my senses and cast the ballot the right way. I realize that voting third party is generally a waste and real-change is done at the grass-roots level.
Au contraire. It isn't just fiscal responsibility where Libertarians agree with Conservatives.
They believe in the sovereignty of the states. They fight taxation. They believe in private property rights. They oppose judicial activism. I could go on.
Is that wacky?
I'm probably more of a libertarian than I am a Republican -- although voting Libertarian is an exercise in futility and I wish they would just STOP with the open borders stupidity -- and thought it was funny.
Many would probably think that there are a few Republicans who could stand a good toke etc. :-)
