Libertarians aren't really a natural part of the GOP constituency, and shouldn't be treated as such or relied upon in any way.
Fine, forget the label 'libertarian' and replace it with 'moderate' or 'centrist'.
You want us out of the party as well?
LOL - Small government, fiscal conservatives aren't a "natural part of the GOP"? Exactly what do you think is the natural constituency of the GOP?
With attitudes that I've seen here by the theocons, unless the democrats do something really stupid (which they are prone to do), they are going to be in power for a long time.
They're a bunch of asshat sickos anyway. Their main rag, the spectacularly misnamed Reason magazine, viciously smears Michelle Malkin and runs interference for our would be Islamic murderers.
Libertarians have more much more in common with Republicans than Democrats, or at least they used to - back when Republicans were interested in getting the government out of our lives.
While we're comparing I'd bet Libertarians have more in common with the founders than 'Social Conservatives' do.
I'm mostly libertarian but I always vote the lesser of two evils when the race is close, meaning I typically vote Republican. If it's not close, I'll vote Libertarian.
Then Republicans shouldn't whine when the Libertarian "causes" them to lose close elections.
