And at the moment I hardly have time or money to campaign for anyone. I'm 20, I work full time and go to college almost full time and pay for my own way, my own place, car, etc. But I've said it a million times on here. I will vote for any candidate regardless of party affiliation if they have a chance at winning who will decrease the size and scope of the federal government. Bush, etc is not doing that. Therefore, I wont vote for them. I dont expect the US ever to become libertarian-like again but I do expect it to move in the right direction.
Those are your words, not mine and they won't win you any arguments either. Typical libertarian hogwash.
What you seem to forget, is that the US Constitution isn't holy scripture, carved in granite and handed down to the people by prophets or gods. There is an existing procedure for amending any portion of the Constitution. At the same time, the Congress can legislate and make law in accordance with the specific powers granted to it, as one branch of the federal government. If that wasn't true, the Founding Fathers would never have created a Congress to start with. The fact is, America has changed since the late 1700`s and has grown from a population of 4 million cititzens to over 285 million. This is the 21st century. Things change and man is the most adaptable creature on the planet. This ability to adapt to all manner of change, is what makes our civilized society and our very existence so remarkable and so profound.
As a conservative, I don't agree with many of the laws enacted by past Congresses, especially those passed by Democratic controlled Congresses. Therefore, I will continue to work to elect more conservative Republicans to positions of public trust.
>>>A conservative and libertarian should have very little differences when it comes to federal government.
Libertarians, or libertarians have little in common with the politics of the modern conservative movement. The sooner you understand that, the better off you'll be. The Libertarian Platform is impractical idealism, that blindly advocates adherence to an unrealistic philosophy, which has a miniscule political following and a future that leads down a dead end road.
On matters that involve fiscal responsibility of the federal government, conservatives have always advocated real tax reform. The best way to stop excessive spending and excessive growth of the federal government, is to stop feeding the "beltway bureaucracy" that has funded liberal socialist programs for the last forty years. Politics is a slow process and one must have patience to see real change come about.
