These Libertarian swine deserve a lot of blame. If we'd had three more Senate seats in the last Congress, things could have been quite different. They blame us for problems that they in part create.
That's exactly the attitude I'm talking about - you attack the small "L" libertarian voters and then you get upset when they don't vote for you.
If the GOP wants libertarian votes then they need to embrace smaller, less intrusive government. It's actually pretty simple.
As Libertarian for well over 30 years, I have been abandoned by the GOP, not the other way around.
When the GOP wanted the Patriot Act, and the donkeys said it would infringe on our civil liberties, I sad the danger to our Republic was great enough that I should support it. Fast forward to today, and how many terrorists have been charged, vs. how many drug dealers? The last time I looked it was being used against every two-bit drug dealer and very few terrorists. You won't get my support on that one again.
I don't see the GOP controlling redistribution, I see them increasing it.
While the donkeys are more corrupt than the GOP, I don't see the GOP taking a stand.
What happened with Willian Jefferson? How is it possible that a GOP administration had videotape of him taking bribes, had recovered the marked money from his freezer, and still didn't have the stones to indict him before he could be re-elected? The only conclusion I can reach is that he has a lot of dirt on the GOP and out of self-preservation they are letting him off.
I used to vote GOP because I felt that my vote could count, I had a chance to elect a friend & ally. Well, my friends and allies have betrayed me. Will I vote for a donkey? Absolutely not, but I am going to vote for a real Libertarian, not a false friend.
Well, talk like this will certainly attract more "libertarian swine" to your party! I know I'd come running to your call of "Suuuuuuiiiiii!

Are you serious? Sarbanes Oxley? Medicare reform? No Child Left Behind?
How would three more Senate seats fix these disasters? Shoot, President Bush couldn't even get a VOTE on social security reform. Pathetic. But that's right, keep blaming someone else. That's been working great for y'all the past few years.
The republicans had control of the house, senate, and white house. What more could you want? Geez. I'm so tired of the excuses people make for the repubs turning into big-government nanny-staters the last several years.
Libertarians should embrace a political party that mocks and denigrates them, then expects subservience on election day?
