Registered party affiliation, has absolutely no bearing. Actions are where the metal meets the meat. The squish repubs, the big L&l liberatrians are well known for mouthing supposed conservative/rational values, yet have excedingly, never met the mark- much less actually towed/toed the line. The last thirty years have been a tsunami of collusion, by all registered liars. We all have illusions. Glad you abhor Ron Paul, but he is only one of many, in the same self-serving guise.

The Libertarian Party, in existence for over forty years, has approximately 325,807 members with only 235,500 registered voters as of 2008.

In the most recent Presidential election, the Libertarian Candidate received just under one percent of the vote. The Libertarian Party has no Representatives in the House and no Senators, plus they hold no Governorships or any other statewide elected positions. In the individual State Legislatures, the LP does not control any upper house or lower house seats at all.

There are approximately 55 million registered Republicans and a myriad number of elected or appointed Republicans currently serving at every level of government in every state.

Libertarians, large or small "l" do not have, nor have they ever had, any part in the problems our nation faces currently. It they had any political credence all, there would be at least one libertarian elected in a national or statewide office today.

To prove a point further, when voting in meetings or conventions, libertarians insist on having "None Of The Above" (NOTA) as a choice on the ballot, allowing them to shoot themselves in the foot at every opportunity.

Could you suppose that many of the big R&r republicans or indy voters are possibly libertarians? Maybe even some Dems. That was the point, of my last post. Your party affiliation, was not. What am I missing?
