Name one government program you think the Republicans will cut. I know your post mentioned corruption, but do you think the party of "less government intrusion" will actually implement its beliefs? Unfortunately, I don't anymore. I would like them to throw me a bone. I don't expect the New Deal and Great Society to be gone with the stroke of a pen, but I'd like to see Bush cut SOMETHING damnit.Much as I have enjoyed my life away from the tiny, ineffective gadfly of a party - the Libertarian Party - these past 7 years, I can see where this is going to go: The GOP has 2 or 4 years in which to show us that they really mean business. The rational LP'ers out there should give the Republican Congress a chance to prove themselves. In fact they should join the GOP and help re-energize the Republican Liberty Caucus.
Face it, LP'ers: With a first-across-the-bar election system, 3rd parties cannot rise above the level of spoilers. And a constant life of spoiling the better in the name of the perfect is a stupid strategy. We have to ensure the GOP stays the dominant party for a couple cycles. THEN, if they haven't accomplished anything by then, after having had full control of Congress & the WH, then the libertarians will finally be in a good position to split the party, since many more actual activists will follow them than ever have before.
