If the GOP was really interested in advancing Republican thought they would try rather harder to reach out to conservatives - and the majority of Americans - and first work on areas where Republican philosophy is widely held; tax cuts, gun rights, limiting enviromental laws, etc.

As you can see, I substituted Rep for Lib. And yet, the GOP has an even more abysmal record of reaching out to conservatives than the Libertarians do.

Lol.

The Republican party has a terrible record on actually enacting conservative ideals, that's certianly true.

However, the party is a conservative one, and has, for example cut taxes recently.

The LP, OTOH, has no interest in reaching out to conservatives or advancing conservative ideals and never has. Make no mistake, if the LP, in its current incarnation, could trade every American freedom to the hard left for the bone of drug legalization they would do it in a heart beat.

Why do you think they supported the recent Judicial rewrite of the the Constitution vis a vis the new "sodomy right"?

All the real Libertarians are either in the Republican party or vote that way. To paraphrase Orwell, LP members are objectively fascist, err, leftists.

Libertarians reaching out to conservatives with a pro-drug, pro-abortion, pro-same sex union, open borders agenda???????

Why, the LP has gone on record that their best recruiting ground is at a NORML conference in gay, socialist San Francisco.
