Since the Republican Party has dedicated itself to racing its Democratic rivals in offering more bread and circuses to the underprivileged masses, there is no longer any reason for conservatives to support it. Disenchanted and dismayed Republicans will do well to remember these pragmatic betrayals of conservative principle when The Most Important Election of Our Lifetime rolls around again three years from now.

The is a cry from the political wilderness from libertarians who have wandered there for decades because they refuse to extract the radical element from their midst. It is those radicals who are the public face of the Libertarian Party and until the moderates take over (if there are any left) they remain politically impotent.

The only correct thing in this article is the last sentence, however "disenchanted Republicans" should remember the outcome of the '92 election should they choose once again to send a message to the Republican party.

Good point. It was a hollow "victory" to send a message to Bush41 by voting for Perot, and I'm one of the fools who did it, and I regretted it for all the eight years of Kiss It Clinton.

... the '92 election ...

Ross Perot was one of the best things that ever happened to the Republican party. He and Clinton. 2 years later Republicans found a message and successfully sold it and won the house for the first time in (40?) years. Republicans need to get back to that message: fiscal responsibility, smaller government ... and hammer away at the Left/Socialist/Democrats.
