Why? I've repeatedly read here that "liberaltarians" are insignificant. Are you saying that social conservatives can't win alone?

Two points... First, who is your social conservative candidate? Maybe I'll vote for him/her but whenever I ask that question I get no answer - just GOP, RINO and NeoCon trash talk. A social conservative has to win a GOP primary. Second, when has a social conservative won in recent history. And if you tell me about Reagan, I'll tell you he wasn't as conservative as you might think and remind you that he ran against Jimmy Carter during the midst of a terrible recession, huge oil prices and US world humiliation. I see us all hanging separately in the 2008 election.

100% agree with your post. From your earlier post, though, it seemed like you were advocating voting for the GOP no matter what.

The only way that Hillary wins is if the GOP goes even further into the socialism mode. For some reason the GOP just can't get it through it's head that socialists vote for the Democratic party. The only thing that implementing socialistic policies does for the GOP is negate that difference between them and the Dems among fiscal conservatives and makes them reevaluate their vote considering other issues.

The GOP has 2 years to rid itself of the Christian-socialist party. If the GOP would return to being friendly to civil liberties and fiscal conservatism then the democrats would never be in the majority.
