Face it Chapman, libertarianism is a shallow form of politics, filled with hollow headed followers, void of both moral and ethical codes of conduct. Libertarianism is a political dead end!

Yea, and the Republicans have such intellectual giants as Olympia Snowe and Trent Lott....

Hummm, let me think. Milton Friedman or Jim Jeffords.....wait a minute, give me some time here....

The Republican Party is dead. It's just the body hasn't quite stopped twitching yet.

Trent Lott couldn't buy a clue if you gave him a thousand dollars, a map, and a bus ticket. The really sad part of it is that Denny Hastert is even more clueless.

Talk about dumb and dumber...

How is Libertarianism 'void of both moral and ethical codes of conduct'? Does anyone who rails against Libertarianism actually know what it stands for? Libertarianism is near the end of the political spectrum, but I'll take it over the other end of the spectrum with it's attendant totalitarianism.

...libertarianism is a shallow form of politics...

It is the Republicans and Democrats who play politics, pandering to everyone and compromising on everything in exchange for campaign contributions and power. There is so little difference in the way the two parties vote in Congress that one politician is indistinguishable from another.

...filled with hollow headed followers, void of both moral and ethical codes of conduct.

I know of no Libertarian who does not adhere to a strict moral code of ethics. It is the very foundation which Libertarianism was built upon. It recognizes the sovereignty of individuals, the equality of men, and the sanctity of private property. A Libertarian government would reflect these values.

Contrast that with the Republican party, full of raving lunatics, demanding the use of threats and violence against those who oppose the collective. Religious fanatics who demand taxpayer financed education, prayer, Bible study clubs, and religious accoutrements on government buildings. A party of sellouts who pander to special interest groups in exchange for campaign contributions and power. The ethics of a neanderthal.

I think you're referring to libeltarianism, with which you are no doubt intimately acquainted.

And the Republicans that ran the farce called impeachment hearings are moral, ethical, and deep political thinkers? Those Republicans who had the power to allow evidence that would conclusively tie clinton with China and expose treason and treachery? Those same Republcans who covered up clinton's crimes for fear of exposing their own?

And what of those that support those Republicans who subverted justice?

You have irrational fears about what you imagine libertarians would do while I have a thorough, rational disgust for what Republicans already have done.
