Ha ha ha. The Republicans have compromised enough prinicple for the rest of eternity. It's time somebody stuck to principles -- the vote mongering careerist Republican politicians and their fawning lickspittles like yourself never will.
Um, better not put principles down too much, they might come in handy someday.
but doesn't seen to notice that by doing so he is losing the war.
Speaking of losing the war, and this comment will only matter to you if you are a conservative, the winning "stra-tee-gery" of the future will be center right/center left coalition. Have heard some neocons discussing this. And in case you haven't noticed there has been a purge of conservatives going on. The Rove/Bush team has been heavy handed in GOP state primaries endorsing moderates and sticking it to conservatives. If you are true to conservative principles you may soon find yourself in a third party.
Just face it: unless the Republican finds a way to appeal to the liberatarian voters, the Republican isn't going to get his vote. Most likely, if there isn't a Libertarian on the ballot, rather than vote for either one of the two Socialists, he's going to stay home.
Libertarians vote Libertarian specifically to send a message to the Socialists of both flavors: look at the votes you could have had but didn't earn.
If election voting results were everything they could be, then we would not only get the total vote count for each race on the ballot, we'd also get the total number of ballots cast, and a tally of how many ballots contained no vote in a given race, as well as the number of ballots that were ignored for a given race because they voted for more than the limit on that race allowed (or other countable irregularities).
This is what the LP called being "principled"...for them, if voting for the LP canidate [sic] ends up electing a democrat, so what!

You're a real hoot!
