Answer my question first. What did voting for the LP party get you? A better, more conservative government or did you just get to make a statement? Because of the LP we certainly do not have a better, more conservative government. Because of the LP party, the dominate conservative party lost control of the senate. Who benefited from that, did conservatives?

All the things that you asked DID NOT happen due to the Libertarian Party. All those things you asked, could have happened with republican control of the congress.

More conservative? Where do you get the idea that the GOP is more conservaive than the Democrats? Certainly not from the real world?

Maybe you've been fooled by the way they talk. You can't paty attention to that. You have to pay attention to the way they act. And the GOP acts as leftist or more so than the Democrats.

As you know, the Congres controls the purse strings. No President can spend one dollar without Congressional approval. During 6 years of the Clinton Administration, the GOP controlled both houses. What happened?

The GOP actually spent more money than Bill Clinton asked them to. Think about that. The GOP actually grew government faster than Bill Clinton asked them to.

Just how does that make them "conservative"?

On issue after issue, the GOP has consistently moved to the left.

Why? Because they know that people like you will vote GOP no matter what they do. They can take your vote for granted. So they feel safe in trying to entice liberals out of the Democratic Party. Thus, they move ever farther to the left.

By voting LP, I told the GOP that they could not take my vote for granted. If they want my vote, they are going to have to earn it. Too bad there are so many like you who will vote the GOP ticket no matter what they do.
