All the mainstream country club “Bow Tie” Republicans are shaking their heads and wondering. “What went wrong?” The answer is really as simple as it is overlooked. In 2010, Republicans were swept into control of the House of Representatives and were within a stone’s throw of Senate control. Were it not for a few candidates who did themselves in as well as being done in by the establishment republican types, there may well have been a tied senate. Just two years later, Obama is re-elected and the Republicans lose ground in the House and Senate. What on earth happened?

Now, you haven’t answered my second question. You agree God gave man free choice to do right and wrong, so does God advocate sinning?
The party is libertarianism, except outside of the ivory towers and where the rubber meets the road.
Libertarians formed a party and it reflects libertarianism.
A "libertarian" is defined "as a person who upholds the principles of individual liberty especially of thought and action." (Merriam-webster.com.) I'm a libertarian, which is a one-word way of saying I'm a lover of freedom. I believe in limited Constitutional government. I believe in capitalism and an economy and market free of government interference. I think that's basically what the Tea Party is.
As far as “libertarian values and goals”, I can't speak precisely for others in the Tea Party and elsewhere who love freedom, but my values and goals include reducing government back to its Constitutionally delegated limits as much as possible at this late date and giving powers not Constitutionally delegated to the Federal Government back to "the states and people respectively" (10th Amendment). That's a good start and basically addresses the heart of our political and economic problems right now. Basically, if I could, I'd give this country back to the American People.
By “libertarian” do you mean as in the Libertarian Party Platform
No. I really know very little about the Libertarian Party, so I can't speak for it or against it. As I began with my first post on this thread, I think the party system has shown itself to be inherently corrupt and has failed to deliver the kinds of ideals, values, and candidates America needs.
You keep saying the same vague nothing over and over, yet claiming Jesus as a libertarian, the Libertarian party speaks for you, you should make an effort to find out something about them and what the goals of libertarians are, and why Bill Maher and David Letterman, and Noam Chomsky, are all libertarians. Jesus is not one.
You don’t know what you’re talking about. You’ve totally ignored what I’ve said beginning with my opening statement about the party system missing the mark including your Libertarian Party and you still haven’t answered my question.
Again you said nothing, libertarians formed a party to promote libertarianism, and you admit that you don’t know much about that or them.
You don’t seem to know much about libertarianism, and that is why you think that Jesus was a libertarian and don’t seem interested in the fact that Noam Chomsky, Bill Maher, and David Letterman are libertarians, while Jesus is not a libertarian.
Jesus is a social conservative who would prefer that we vote as social conservatives, not for abortion “rights” and “homosexual marriage” etc.
On this thread you have made clear that you are for the libertarian agenda.
Sodom and Gomorrah, had plenty of libertarian and liberal types, what it was lacking, was conservatives.
Ansel, you’re still not paying attention and still haven’t answered my question.
