It's sad that you have to resort to name calling when confronted by the truth. I think the tone of your comments betrays the prevailing attitude of the GOP. Politics is a game to them, not about principle but popularity and controlled much the same way as organized crime operates.
Libertarians ,wrapped in their vaunted principles, and misrepresentation of the FFs and the Costitution, prefer to be outcasts . In 30 plus years, the LP has actually LOST voters and supporters. The GREENIES and the LP , have more in common, than Libertarians and Republicans do. Then there is the little eye opener, that so many Libertarians, on FR, keep claiming that they don't agree with oh so many points of the LP platform. Well, since principles are SO important to you, then you are unprincipled, because you support that which you disagree with. Such hypocracy !
For ALL of the screaming, about NOT supporting the GOP, because of the RINOS ... those RINOS, are from many different states. You can ONLY vite for the Representatives and Senators running in YOUR state. By claiming that you won't ever vote for the GOP, as a " punishment " against RINOS, is irrational , when you can't vote for / against them anyway !
Common sense is now such a very rare commodity !
