Libertarians are going to try and throw elections to the Dems in order to push their pro drug agenda.

The idiots. Freedom should be fought for within the Republican party. It's this sort of crap that drives the Objectivists away from the Libertarian party.

Yep.

Freedom should be fought for within the Republican party.

Just look at all the success of fighting for freedom from within the Republican Party.

The RP is a political machine controlled by well-funded special interest groups with an agenda. You're not going to take over the party and institute a limited government agenda.

Freedom should be fought for within the Republican party.

That would certainly be the smartest thing. When Pat Robertson ran for president a few years ago, the Republican precinct meetings where I live were flooded with Robertson supporters. Libertarians could do the same if they wanted. When Libertarians say that the Republicans and Democrats are all the same, they are ignoring reality. There is a difference and the Libertarians would find much more success by sending their own candidates to the Republicans and supporting them in the Republican primaries. We need more people like Ron Paul (who supports the Constitution and freedom) in the Republican party.

#3: "Freedom should be fought for within the Republican party.

But that's exactly what Buchanan tried to do in '92 and '96.

After he beat 'Boner' Bob Dole in New Hampshire in '96, the Republican establishment attacked him (and us) in the most vile of ways.

I'll never forgive Pat for remaining with the R's in '96 and I haven't voted Republican since.

Considering this, your lofty statement about fighting within the party is just so much political garbage....
