Oh come on...other than the Reagan administration I havent noticed much from the (R)'s either...The only ones I see that have any promise are Paul and Tancredo...and they're considered "fringe extremists" by most in the party anyway.
Well, I hope it's a short lived fad. Geeez. I would never vote Libertarian. If they ever gained national status over Republicans, I'd sit that vote out, that's for sure. Nothing personal, I just don't care for the party at all.
Did he say irrelevant (I think he clearly understands the need for each and every vote otherwise this whole thread would not be listed), a one vote difference in a close election is possible. I think we feel that the vote would be lost for his party (just like voting for the communist/green/ect party) and would likely decide "JUST" the outcome of the other main canidates. That makes each vote count and relevant. Make your informed decisions on how best to vote, no one can change ones pattern in the voting booth and I am afraid that just bitterness will overcome rational.
I never straight ticket anything, but this was the closest I've gone to it. I swayed in two smaller races. I also left one judge spot blank for appeals because of his gun stance(Patrick Meter did not get my vote). Too bad he was unopposed.
Went GOP down the line from Governor, Senate, State Rep and Senate down to the local governmental offices. Luckily I live in a good area, and only held my nose for two of them(one for being outworked, another for Supreme Court judge - Weaver)
I do have my limits. Flat out gun grabbers will not get my vote. Gun moderates maybe. Some are so bad, that I'll go dem(McCain, A Riordan type, Joe Schwarz is borderline). It's a cost benefit analysis.
It isn't.
The DLC "think tank" is the Progressive Policy Institute (PPI)(5), which admits to being a "Third Way" socialist organization:
No matter. To say that they don't win is a lie.
Ack. Pass the coffee. I meant, of course, RKBA.
We'll see. It depends on how popular Bush stays. Add Bush to Reagan,and we have winners.
If libertarians do become stronger, my vote will have to go to their opposition. I'm not liberal at all. I don't think it's good for America. I have kids.
Reagan applauded the libertarians even if he allowed government to grow and instituted the failed war on drugs.
At any rate, Bush is nowhere near Reagan.
So did Lyndon Johnson. When he was asked about Vietnam he replied he wouldn't send Americans to fight for the Vietnamese. If answers are all you want, I suppose any answer will do.
A vote for a "Greenie" is political masturbation, unless your a Democrat.
Balderdash! There's not a dimes worth of difference between the GOP and Democrats.
When you start nominating candidates that follow the Constitution 100% of the time, and actually live it when in Congress - we'll start to listen.
Until then, forget it.
That's just a matter of personal opinion. Bush still has 6 years left.
Hillary, btw, is by far the worst traitor ever to disgrace the White House, and she forced her way into the Senate. She is filthy rich, powerful and colder than a whore's heart. And she still has those 1200 FBI files. Talk about a Congress that is asleep at the switch.
LOL. I think there's no difference between Liberal Democrats and Liberal Libertarians. To each their own, I guess. LOL. I group them together when talking politics.
No, that's a matter of record. In Bush's two years as President he has, by the record, proven that he is actually less conservative than Clinton. See the Cato institute's article laying out the facts.
LaFalce will be gone. Casualty of redistricting.
Fraud. Imposing sociaism slowly while calling it freedom.
It's a fool the sheep strategy.
