I have been a life long GOP voter, I have Libertarian leanings. Our founders were for the most part Libertarians. While I usually vote GOP I have been turned off by their swing toward more socialist style programs and fiscal irresponsibility. The article is correct, if the GOp wants to win, they need to be fiscally conservative. I personally beleive that the positions of the evangelical voters have no business in politics. Government should govern by what is in the Constitution not what is blowing in the wind.
"President Bush and the congressional Republicans left no libertarian button unpushed in the past six years: "
The article failed to mention that Bush seems to be in total agreement with libertarians when it comes to illegal immigration.
I can't believe that any genuine libertarians would vote for John Kerry, so I'm suuming libertarians are actually around 10% of the population, not 15%.
