To: Reaganite Republican
How about candidates actually, you know, listening to voters and reaching out to voters and pulling them into your coalition? It's just so crazy, it may work.

Why not learn about monetary policy, inflation, business cycle and the gold standard, reach out to libertarians, support auditing the Fed and other pro-freedom issues?

I was in the LP, the LP vote is under 1% typically. If that vote gets above that, the politician should look in the mirror and ask, what I did wrong?

When you have the highest elected Republican, Boehner, out there agreeing to raise revenues, how is anyone wrong to vote Libertarian Party. The GOP is hardly the team that is going to reduce the size and scope of the Federal Government. They haven't done it, when they had the White House, the Senate and the House.

As a libertarian, I know the greatest threat to this nation is the leviathan of the Federal Government. And when I see the Republican Party expand it, succor it and do nothing to stop it, how am I to believe that the GOP is the place I have to vote?

It's the political party's role to get out there and reach out to libertarians with policies and actions. The GOP has not done this, so how can you blame the voters?

My experience has been that most so-called ‘libertarians’, have three major planks, pro-abortion, pro gay marriage and pro drugs.

Until that changes, I don’t understand why ‘libertarians’ would vote Republican over Democrat. You have far more in common with Obama.

As for the stuff you mentioned - I agree - but they have to be willing to give up all three of these first.
