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 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.
