You ae wrong on that one sir. I have heard him many times say he disagrees with several of the "planks" of the LP

Thanks. I missed that. He ever say the LP is just as responsible as Democrats and Republicans?

He simply aligned himself with the LP because it is the closest party we have that is more committed to smaller government than the other two.

They say that. I've seen no evidence they've done anything to achieve that. I do see evidence they have used their position much in the same way the ACLU has used the constitution.

As far as the LP being responsible for giving us Reid, no the voters are the ultimate failure, but then again Ensign has really showed himself to be committed to his promises, now hasn't he?

The LP was responsible. The attacks were vicious. And that was 12 years ago. Ensign was with the LP on nearly all the issues. No one could make the negative comment you just did in 1998. All anyone knew was his House record and what he said. But even if anyone did know, he would still have been better than Harry Reid.

So when has the LP ever been in a position to get any of its proposed legislation even debated on the floor much less written into law? From where I sit, only the Pubbies and the Dems are in that boat. The two parties are pulling water into the boat, not trying to get it out.

The LP was mostly responsible for the successful gun rights SCOTUS decisions. With NO help AT ALL from the GOP. They also fought the Kelso emanate domain fight. Again, with NO HELP from the land developer favoring GOP. Two biggest gun and property rights campaigns of the last fifty years done by........GOP? NOPE. So, who's taking the money, and who talks right and acts left?
