A tendency Libertarians seem to have here is putting words in my mouth.
The reason Conservatives lost is because they abandoned their Conservative values. The Libertarians didn't HELP with that, but it wasn't "their fault."
Now, speaking PERSONALLY, I didn't abandon MY principles -- but far too many Conservative Republicans in Congress DID.
A tendency *some* socio-cons have is to over-generalize.
What words did I attribute specifically to you? I was speaking about those who, on other threads, characterize libertarians as useless in getting Republicans elected and then blame libertarians when Republicans lose elections. I'm sure you can see the inconsistency in those two mutually-exclusive positions.
