“Silly propaganda from a person who opposes conservatism.”

Nope. I don’t “oppose conservatism”. Mostly I oppose stupidity.

“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.”

What I posted came from here...you know, the official page of the 2012 GOP platform:

http://www.gop.com/2012-republican-platform_home/

“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.”

Nonsense. It doesn’t adopt anything. It simply chooses its fights wisely. The idea of a third party gaining any significant traction is a pipe dream.

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

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

[snip]”

While I like some aspects of the libertarian ideal (you know, that “liberty” thing is pretty good) I disagree with others. Don’t put words in my mouth.

I say what I mean and mean what I say.

What I would like to see happen is a reversal of the rush to destruction the US is on, along with a big drop in government spending and government bureaucracy. I think that’s considerably less likely if the Republicans insist that religious dogma is a major part of their platform. “Freedom of religion” is taken seriously by many.

Wow, if you are going to post a portion of the GOP platform, post a portion relevant to what we are talking about, for instance abortion, or marriage.

You are so confused (or hostile) that you think the platform is “religious dogma”, rather than just sane conservatism to preserve America and conservative voting, you evidently don’t know that the vast majority of people who feel like you, are dedicated leftist voters.

Social liberalism results in creating more liberal democrat party voters, not fewer, for instance look at the tea party, they are deeply religious and social conservative, more so than the average GOP voter, that is who conservatives are.

If you move left, then the conservatives will simply move on, and that will leave you with little, is is social liberalism, and weak defense issues, that keeps the Libertarian party down there in invisible land for example.

In other words, you have a party, and it is a total failure, the best they ever did was against Reagan in 1980.
