But why do you insist that all Republicans agree on everything?
Well, if the LP does make to "power" in some big way, does it not makes sense that they would have had to of had "people" vote for them? So yeah, if the LP was in power I would suspect that many of the "people" would be supportive of these issues.
Do you remember Clintons health care reform? The Dems had the White House AND congress. You expect anything as radical as open borders to get passed? I would just like to see what can be done with a Republican White House AND solid Republican Congress. Then lets see what happens. If they don't perform to my expectations, then I would even consider joining the LP.
Most do agree, especially in areas that relate to legislating morality. Which in the end leads to less personal liberty, for the sake of "society," "the people," or "the children". They refuse to allow for individual liberty, and insist on punishing the activity (ie. drugs, sex, porn, etc) engaged in by many responsible people who are not hurting anyone rather than allow personal freedom, punishing those who only step outside the lines. And how can one possibly make sure no one is doing these "bad" activites? Well, one needs a bigger governemnt with more rules, regulations, and law enforcement (the alphabet agencies), because Repubicans cannot possibly trust people to behave themselves. Government's domestic function is to protect individual inalienable rights - not make sure everyone is following the moral techings of Christiansity or any other religion for that matter. It's not the federal government's duty to fix every single ill and problem in society.

I remember the socialized medicine scare, and it got defeated on common sense, thank God. As to open borders, this one I think is clearly misuderstood and misrepresented by many in the GOP - especially with the paranoia that every muslim immigrant is going to blow something up in America. When Libertarians speak of open borders, we merely speak to ability to be able to move and do business where ever we wish. This is necessary for capitalism, which drives a democratic republic such as the US. What has been misrepresented about this point is that the LP supports letting everyone come into and out this country at will. Libertarians do not mind certain check and balances to who is let in or out, as long as demonstratably law abiding people can easily move back and forth.

I'll tell you what would happen: bigger government. It would just be bigger programs that the GOP embraces. I guess the big governemnt is ok when it embraces the same issues that you do.

They won't, and it will be nice to have you on board in the future.
