Zogby is a joke if he believes this is an accurate reading of the public's true feelings and positions. 44% Libertarians? Gimme a break.

44% is probably understating it. A huge majority of the American public still wants a small, unintrusive government. The only people that want an intrusive government are socialists and social conservatives.

A large number of people that vote Democrat aren't socialists but vote for the Dems because they fear the theocons in control of the Republican party.

In the same way , a large number of people that vote Republican aren't really social conservatives but vote for the GOP anyway because they fear the socialists in control of the Democratic party.

The parties are due for a realignment - hopefully all the small government voters can unite and save this country from the big government types that control both the Republican and Democratic parties.
