The country will die because the Conservative Liberty lovers can't mount a opposition. We are to busy mounting our high horse to see the failure we bring our country.

I do not care what party from the right has power, I do care that the people of the right can't work together. That will be our down fall.

The Environmentalist, the Socialist, the Unions and the uninformed democrats have allot of differences. Many things the disagree on, but they fight together to rid themselves of a common enemy. And they are succeeding, if only because we cannot fight back.

If every Libertarian and Constitution party member voted FOR quality Republicans not only would we win control, we would move the party in the direction we want.

I have no problem putting out a LP candidate when the 'R's have bad candidate. It makes the point and I would encourage RP members to vote that direction.

Here in my county we had two 'R's running for Sheriff. Big differences between them. One to the right, one to the left. The lefty not working for the people, instead working for interests which included the State. The one from the right lost the primary by a couple hundred votes, less than that garnered by the Libertarian that was also running (open primaries here).

Now we have a choice of the Libertarian and the lousy 'R'. I am voting LP, so is my family and my Friends, but many won't because of the perceived arrogant burn the Libertarian gave us in the primary.

There is little difference between the Libertarian and the Good 'R', he said as much himself. So why not encourage all Libertarians to vote for the good 'R' in the primary and then give us the choice of the Good 'R' and Libertarian in the General election? A real Choice, where a quality man gets elected either way.

Now we will have a terrible Sheriff. The Libertarian just could not cooperate with us, he had to make a point and we all will be worse off for.

The point? A libertarian could punish us if we did not vote for him. Same thing in Oregon's governor election and a half dozen other races on the west coast.

I am going to be stuck with Brain Baird for a Congressman and the LP could stop it. They won't though, even though they are not running a candidate. You know why? Because even though the GOP has a real conservative, (one who wants to eliminate Federal direct taxation, eliminate farm subsidies, reduce regulations) he won't call for an open boarder with Mexico and hasn't decided that legalizing pot makes sense, so bye bye LP support. Sick

But, I obviously am not making any valid points in your mind as you seem to only want to make fun of me.

You just keep telling yourself that your high and mighty. All the while the LP and the GOP will lose elections and when the GOP does wins it will be more and more to the middle.

And like I said, the Country die. You doubt me, watch.

We? You are confused, WE don't want the same things. I don't want the approach to governance that you do. Libertarians are not "fallen away" Republicans despite what you have been told.

And like I said, the Country die. You doubt me, watch.

The country will die because people no longer embrace the ideals that the country was founded upon. The Republican party has done nothing to stop that. If the country dies, the blame won't be on those who tried to re-instill the proper values in society, but those who claimed to, and sold out for power.
