When you have a two horse race you make sure the best one wins. Then you are patient and vie for jockey of the winning horse. Republican Liberty Caucus

The RLC doesn't have an official platform like the major parties, because it is a political club and only affiliated with a major party. It is a group that seeks to support libertarian and like-minded candidates in the Republican Party. A platform is not an accurate reflection of the views of its members; it is a compromise between the people who are interested enough in political theory to argue about it. In the GOP and Democratic Party, candidates consistently run on issues at odds with the official party line. The RLC has no plans to develop a comprehensive document outlining the RLC's views on every issue. There is, however, an official list of RLC positions that emphasizes limited government across the board. The document was adopted at the 1996 RLC convention. Individual RLC members do not necessarily concur with every position, and it is not a requirement of membership to endorse it. It does seem to reflect the general views of the members.

Are you OK with this? Have you ever read the doctrinal statement of the Unitarian Chruch? I simply don't trust a group that is either too lazy to bullet some points or too wishy washy to take a stand on anything.
