Watch the vocal Libs suddenly become very, very quiet on this site.
You said it. bttt
Oh, if only.
Neal Boortz must be smugly proud today that his call to spank the pubbies has been accomplished. One can only hope Neal is not in the area of the coming al qaeda slaughter. He needs the chance to apologize to those dolts he's manipulated and renounce his suicide urges.
Why quiet? They have just as much right to their views as anyone else.
What we need is for everybody to stop blaming each other for the loss, find common ground (the military, terrorism, constitutional judges - but not theocratic ones) on which we can agree, then work our butts off to turn things around.
I am glad some of my fellow Libertarians screwed some of the huge defict spending GOP'ers out of office !!!!
Small 'l' Goldwater/Reagan type libertarians have no need to be quiet, as the republican party leadership is responsible for failing to include their constitutional philosophy in a Republican platform.
Oh, I don't know. It's nice to get a little respect for a change. Not admiration, but respect. At least it's something.
Personally, I think if you blame the Republican losses in this election on independent conservatives, you're smoking crack...but if you insist on seeing things that way, we can work with that too, as follows:
"Yes, we hate it that the lefty libs gained power, we hate it as much as you do. And if the Republicans don't start actually pursuing the agenda they say they stand for, we'll do it to 'em again."
Why? If this analysis is accurate, it just provides more evidence that the Republican "leadership" threw their support away by trying too hard to "move to the center". If they had had sense enough to remember what the election results looked like when Reagan was elected, and had any grasp of why, they would have done the sensible thing, and actually moved toward a more conservative platform. People who really value liberty would have had more reason to support them, and they would have had their traditional base of normal, sensible people supporting them wholeheartedly. This election result is solely the fault of the Republican politicians. The Libertarians and libertarians did what they usually do, and the conservatives did what they usually do. Anyone with one eye and bat's sense could have predicted that. Republican "leadership" has no one but themselves to blame for the losses.
