In effect then, you agree you made a meaningless generalization about libertarians, BUT that somehow, - party size makes it relevent? - Weird concept.

Party size makes EVERYTHING relevent. How can any party be relevent without any elected officials, or any hope for them.

Your 'party loyalist' concept, -- and the roscoe/tex 'Rino' cohort, have been doing political 'business as usual', - ignoring the constitution for decades. -- It doesn't work to stop big brother government.
-- We need to form a NEW political concensus, based on constitutional principles.
The RLC position could be the basis for such a coalition.

When you truly feel that anything but a moderate or liberal can be elected in the portions of the country I mentioned in an earlier post, ask me this question again. We elected Jesse Helms in NC. That would not be possible in New England. One has to work within the realm of reality. Lack of realism is the Libertarians'(as well as single issue adherents') biggest stumbling block.

It is becoming obvious that the roscoe/tex types here at FR have no real interest in the restoration of a constitutional free republic.
-- Do You?

Nice concept, no easy road there though. In the meantime, I'll just plug along voting for the candidate closest to my views who has even a remote chance to win, always hoping for a sea change in public opinion that would allow for the election of constitutionalists..

Exactly why I posted the info about the new RLC forum formed by Jim Robinson. - Did you even bother to punch it up?

Dream on then, repeating the same political insanities, as you lose your constitutional rights, and our free republic.
