Nothing really. It was a comment on the odds that Republicrats really want to or will do anything substantive once elected. I could have said "when hell freezes over", but at least by comparing it to the LP's chances of getting elected, I make a point about how best to actually limit govt in the future.
As for the other thing, why don't you pass that on to the guy who fancies himself Thomas Paine. My experience is those who need to hide behind grandeur have the most to compensate for.
