If the Republicans had their act together, it wouldn't matter what Libertarian voters did. The fact that we're having this little flame war is a clue.

That's a little better, but not much. If you can't do any better that this, I'm going to have to go work on some drywall, just so I've got some mud to watch dry. At this rate, you might have me remembered into submission by the end of the millenium.

Hey, just sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labors. You people worked hard for them and you deserve exactly what you're going to get.
To: 68 grunt

Funny, the jackboot moral authoritarian Freepers always call them "liberaltarians."
You sure they didn't help keep those races close? How can you assume the party that lost a vote to a liberaltarian is the so-called "conservative" one?
To: CWOJackson
We're all getting it bozo, and you're getting your share. The only difference seems to be that you get to chalk it up to your entertainment budget. I guess things look different on the other end of the tax pipeline.

I found your question tough to read. I understand, completely and if you're saying what I think you're saying, agree completely.
I've never, ever called libertarians anything other than that.

LOL! I've never seen anyone so eager to distance themself from their efforts. You taught the GOP a lesson...enjoy it now...class will be in session again soon enough.
To: DesScorp
When the hell has the GOP offered to give the libertarians ANYthing? Drug wars with stormtroopers kicking in doors and shooting dogs of people minding their own business? An imperial foreign policy that views America as God's gift to the world? The Republican party has taken the libertarians for granted for a LONG while. Maybe it's payback for a DEA second only the the Gestapo and a fedgov policy of intruding on state's rights WRT legalization of pot.

Wonderful. Another druggie Libertarian. Like cockroaches, once they're in, it's hard to get rid of them.

Lots of strawmen and ad-hominems in post #235.
You can't refute the fact that the Bush administration is not fighting a real war, huh. Did it ever occur to you that the war is "dragging" on because Team Bush has allowed the Rats and MSM to get away with bogging down our troops with BS "atrocities," fighting by the Geneva Convention, asinine "torture" allegations, and engaging in other politically-correct nonsense? The war should have been over at the end of 2003, easily. That's why people are "angry" over the Iraq war, not because our troops are SIMPLY THERE, but because, once again our troops are handcuffed by the politicians and bureaucrats in the Pentagon, and you have an administration that's not showing OR telling the good side of Iraq or the WMDs found.
But keep blaming the boogeymen Libertarians because the GOP doesn't have the spine to stand up for what's right (or else the NY Times will give them a mean editorial or they won't get invited to future Washington cocktail parties). Keep deluding yourself.

In theory, it could pull the Repubicans towards the Libertarians Not a chance in hell

We're irrelevant throughout the campaign, nothing but a bunch of child-porn reading pot-smoking hippies who won't get .00001% of the vote, but after the election and the dust settles and the RINO loses - "WHY DIDN'T YOU VOTE FOR THE REPUBLICAN YOU LOSERTARIANS?!" screams the party faithful.
Are Libertarians relevant or not? Make up your mind GOPers.
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
Read the tagline.
Again, make the comparison. This may not be an all-out effort, as you say, but how are the Democrats going to make things better.
Hey, my mutual fund isn't making me 200% every year, but I don't dump it in favor of a Christmas Club.

Yep...buchanan believed that BS also. Come to think about it...I don't see much difference in the two camps.

Several researchers I work with are currently deliberately increasing their background radiation levels for the purpose of stimulating DNA repair. I have a couple hot rocks around for these purposes as well. Not efficient. For the purpose of radiation hormesis (among other things) I use Morton Salt Substitute. Natural potassium chloride. The K40 courses through my whole body, delivering vitamin R straight into my tissues.

LOL! I love how you folks are going all John Kerry."I was for the lesson we taught the GOP before I was against it."
To: CWOJackson
Oh! John Kerry now. Can you work in Teddy or Jane Fonda? Maybe Adolf Hitler? I'd suggest the anti-Christ but that doesn't quite fit you style.
