"That is just utterly bizarre fantasizing. You don't drop the core of the party platform, discard your voters, and seek their replacements from the party that you just copied."

In what way is it "dropping the core of the party platform"?

Here is the entire platform from 2012:

Do you see any of your "core issues" listed there? In fact, it's pretty close to what I'm advocating.

"All you are doing is calling for the end of the GOP, and the end of a party for conservatives, and an end to resistance to abortion and the left, on social issues."

Those who feel strongly about such issues can promote them. I think it will be most effective at the state and local level. Despite the 2012 platform above, the perception of the Republican party as the party of intolerance and religious extremism was enough to sink it. It also didn't help that we fielded a subpar candidate, of course.

"What is your game?"

Keeping the Dems from running the country into the ground for four more years (at least). Looking into the future, and the likelihood of amnesty for the illegal aliens who are very likely to be Dem voters, we need to increase our appeal outside the party. It's that simple.

Silly propaganda from a person who opposes conservatism.

Your game is obviously against social conservatism, which is what this conversation is about, so did you post the GOP platform on abortion of such issues, of course not.

With your plan, the GOP adopts much of the Democrat platform, and loses most of it’s supporters as they form a third party, and somehow suddenly that results in the democrat voters switching parties to lead the now, half democrat GOP, to political victory.

We know what platform you support and why you are against the GOP.

Here is the leftists agenda hidden behind the Libertarian Party curtain.

Libertarian Party Platform:

Throw open the borders completely; only a rare individual (terrorist, disease carrier etc.) can be kept from freedom of movement through “political boundaries”.

Homosexuals; total freedom in the military, gay marriage, adoption, child custody and everything else.

Abortion; zero restrictions or impediments.

Pornography; no restraint, no restrictions.

Drugs; Meth, Heroin, Crack, and anything new that science can come up with, zero restrictions.

Advertising those drugs, prostitution, and pornography; zero restrictions.

Military Strength; minimal capabilities.

Two things may help you.

Millennial libertarians voted for Obama, and social liberal, Mitt Romney, easily swept the Independent vote.

Why did the GOP lose in an election that they couldn’t lose? It wasn’t because the liberal Massachusetts Governor who gave America gay marriage, was pro-abortion, anti-gun, and for gay Boy Scout leaders, who despised Reagan, and for gays in the military, was too conservative, it was the opposite.
