You never have, and besides that attitude got us where we are. Libertarianism is no friend to conservatism.
Many here including myself predicted exactly what would happen this election, but not many including me imagined the depth of the defeat GW/Rove would bring us.
What you like or dislike does not matter you will be relegated to a permanent minority, as soon as GW gets the immigration bill he wants.
So go ahead a wail a gnash your teeth, only an Act of God will save us from this mess.
In case you miss my tagline...;.
If the GOP does not do something about immigration, immigration will do something about the GOP
But I DO disgree with your comment about Libertarians--and I would like to quote my hero on the topic--
“If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism.”---Ronald Reagan, 1975
