Unless the Losertarian circle-jerk moonbats are blowing smoke (which, as immature blowhards, they may be) this "good reception" at CPAC sounds like very bad news.
If it's true, we have to hope that the good reception came from idiots who are already in, or voting for, the LP and not from Republicans who are about to defeat. We can't afford any substantial loss from our fragile, 51 percent coalition. Sorry, but that's the sad truth.
CPAC should have the guts to exclude the LP!!!! There are plenty of other conservative outfits with a serious limited-government message. Serious libertarians should, and probably do, focus on the ISSUES, not trashing the Republican party!!!!
Oops ... I meant, "Republicans who are about to DEFECT,"
not "defeat" ... though come to think of it, these amount in this case to the same gawddamned thing.
My anger at the LP sometimes causes me to write so fast that I make typos. Forgive me, wandering ghost of Ayn Rand. I'm sure I've thereby violated some tenet of "Objectivism."
"Serious libertarians should, and probably do, focus on the ISSUES, not trashing the Republican party!!!!"
The Republican party needs to wake the hell up and stop spending money hand over fist on social "entitlement" programs like the new Medicare drug nonsense. I'm a libertarian/conservative (note the small "l") first - being a Republican is always secondary to that. Issues should always come first.
Now having said that, I think the Libertarian party is good for two reasons. First, it speaks truth to power - reminding the Republicans that they are supposed to stand for small government and individual liberty. Sometimes the Republican Party needs a bit of friendly trashing to pull it back to the actual issues. Second, the Libertarian Party it can be used to scare RINOs into acting like Republicans again. Competition is always good for the marketplace.
