Me whine?

Yes.

I thought that is what you have been doing as you search for a way to promote libertarianism.

*shrug* — I try not to whine, but I would be lying if I said I never whine.

If you prefer the libertarians on abortion and gay issues, national defense and borders and hookers and drugs and porn, then call it as it is, to the left of republicans.

Ha! No way — the Libertarian-party would be far more 'ok' with letting those be the purview of the several states than the Republican-party. The Republican-party has absolutely no intention of addressing those issues at all, they are merely a puppet on the right hand of the same 'person' who has the Democrat-party on their left hand — this 'person' has no intention of following through on the "party platform" it uses to dress its hands if it does not conform to its own agenda.

A politician or voter who supports abortion at the state level, or any level of government supports abortion, conservatives oppose abortion and gay marriage at all levels from city hall to the federal government..

Conservatives oppose abortion and has won a lot of victories, it is one reason libertarians despise them.

On January 22, thousands gathered on the National Mall in Washington for the annual March for Life that takes place on the date that Roe v. Wade was decided by the Supreme Court.

The same week, the Republican National Committee decided that it was time for the national party to wade back into the pro-life waters after a perceived hiatus from using it as a platform issue. A “Resolution on Republican Pro-Life Strategy” formally re-established abortion as a 2014 election issue for the party and seeks to push back on the “war on women” rhetoric that Democrats have made synonymous with the pro-life movement.

The RNC clearly believes once again that a prominent pro-life position plays well with voters. Perhaps the national party has taken note of what’s happening at the state level. Twenty-four states enacted 53 anti-abortion measures in 2013 alone.

Research from the pro-choice Guttmacher Institute shows that in the last three years, states have enacted an unprecedented 205 different abortion restrictions. This was made possible by the fact that over half of the states in the union have pro-life governors and pro-life majorities in their legislatures.
