Despite all the negative talk about conservative christians, it looks to me like the libertarian wing of the party is a lot more likely to undo the GOP.

You have it backwards -- the religious right is demanding too much and thereby driving away the mass of anti-Big-Government voters on which the GOP depends.

It's always been that way. When libertarians sit out elections, Republicans lose.

Um, it's the conservative christians that are driving out the libertarian leaning Repubs and independents, causing a rift in the center-right coalition. The christian conservatives are really not conservatives, but are actually christian social engineers (aka Socialists). Libertarians disagree with social engineering, whether from the right or the left. More and more voters are identifying themselves as independents because their tired of all the moral posturing coming from both major parties.

Very true.

They showed that in MT.

Bingo. Only, I didn't think they could do it with their piddling numbers. I thought they'd manage to harangue the GOP into alienating the religious and driving away the support.

Only the religious are used to not being liked--and the religious really hate to lose. It's the libertarians who draw such satisfaction out of losing and paying higher taxes as a result.

Neurotic, effete, lazy, libertarians.
