Your silly arguments are just silly.

As though the solution lay either in the “as it is” R party or anything to do with the Libertarian party.

They both suck big time.

What is needed is people in Congress, the Senate, and the Executive branch with the principles and character I described above.

Libertarianism is nuts, the plarty platform is downright eivl. The standard as it’s been GOP stinks and is utterly complicit in the destruction of our country especially because of cupidity and cowardice, although there are a handful of good one like Bachmann and a few others. BUt they alone can’t stem the tide.

So what is needed is PEOPLE with wisdom, moral principles, courage and with a deep understanding of the Constitution. And who cannot be bought.

It’s really simple.

And your duplicitous lead-in is just....

Interesting that you’d think the (L), and I’ll even throw in the Constitutional (C) Party, are downright ‘evil’. Even if some of their planks are 180 to my own (L) thinking I yet to hear how their own following/interpretation of the Constitution differs from whatever party you’ve been supporting? Their platform is quite clear: A1S8, morality is not a gov’t function and all else is up to the States and/or the People. Boy, that sure is hard to grasp...

And yet, Bachmann and the ilk had a chance to stand up to/for her own principles/mortality. Instead, she voted to continue the farce you support by reaffirming Boehner. What else have your highly esteemed, principled people pushed??

"If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals–if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is. Now, I can’t say that I will agree with all the things that the present group who call themselves Libertarians in the sense of a party say, because I think that like in any political movement there are shades, and there are libertarians who are almost over at the point of wanting no government at all or anarchy. I believe there are legitimate government functions. There is a legitimate need in an orderly society for some government to maintain freedom or we will have tyranny by individuals. The strongest man on the block will run the neighborhood. We have government to insure that we don’t each one of us have to carry a club to defend ourselves. But again, I stand on my statement that I think that libertarianism and conservatism are travelling the same path."
