Why do you think the libertarians get only 1-2% of the vote, tops? There is no groundswell for the libertine movement. Zero. If you drove the "puritans" (read, practicing Catholics, Evangelicals, Baptists, and others) out of the GOP, they'd be lucky to get 10-15% of the vote. Meanwhile, the Scumocrats would sweep into office.

You overestimate yourselves.

Twelve percent of the 1994 voters identified themselves as members of the Christian Right in exit polling.

12%. 12% who are really the captives not the jailors, can't be dictating anything.

They are easily replaced.

6% stolen from the Demons = 12%.

I'll trade. And you have no where to run.

The social conservatives are generally former Dems. The next batch to be stolen are socially conservative blacks --which is a good chunk of the black population, btw -- and when that happens the Dems are dead.

Where would the libertarians go anyway? Stay home? Get Dems elected? High taxes, welfare state, pre-pre K? A complete firearm ban?

Social conservatives don't ask for a whole lot. Basically, if the Supreme Court read the Constitution as if it were written in plain English and not some arbitrary code there would be very few "moral issues" involving the federal government.

Wow are you that naive? First off, the media's been on a 30 year campaign to demonize the term "Christian Right." Heck, I might not even say that I was part of that particular group if asked, though my voting pattern and and ideals closely mirror theirs.

You may as well try an exit poll asking how many Democrat voters consider themselves "socialists"?
