LOL! I can hardly wait for the Democrat tax increases. I'm sure giving them more of your money will sooth your mean libertarian streak tremendously.

I guess we'll have to lose a few more elections using the "shut up and vote for us, stupid!" method before we learn anything.

Libertarians are Democrats. Fiscally conservative Democrats.

If we have tax increases, it's because the Republicans and the President have let us down.

LOL! It will be because you got what you deserve...nothing else.

Noone is required to vote one way or another. Start looking at what the GOP did that drove people to the Libertarians.

LOL! You're an idiot! I got what I deserved by voting for a straight Republican ticket? You just made my point. Thank you!

No, you see, you've got it wrong-

The GOP has a God-given right to everybody's vote, and anybody who doesn't recognize this and doesn't vote for them is being a slime ball. I mean, we even toss them a crumb every year or so, and they still defect! The nerve!

I'll leave the area of idiocy in your very capable hands...I could never compete with your excellence in that field, I actually see a difference between Republicans and Democrats.

They will set the agenda, and invite who they want to the party. They are and will be the power brokers. Fail to yield to their overwhelming power and you will be nothing more than refuge in the political landscape.

This looks like a Libertarian quiz.

I hate to break this to you but Zell Miller wasn't running.

Your lack of answer shows that you know I'm right.

I recommend that we Republicans cease and desist courting the loosertarian votes from now on. They are flaky, spoiled, short sighted distractions. I do not believe that they are worth our time.

Whom do you propose replacing them with?

You're not "right" in any manner of speaking. You are typical however of Libertarian thought, comparing a real person running for office with someone who isn't. You deal in hypothetical, not in reality.

There's a huge, huge difference.

Huge? I don't think so. What's your definition of conservative?

The 10th Amendment was made meaningless by Abraham Lincoln, and the 14th Amendment.

Your statement is self contradictory.

Are you the ugly teenage girl who is proud of having maintained her virginity?

Does that make you the pretty cheerleader who will put out for anyone in a team jersey?

You stated that I didn't know the difference between a Republican and a Democrat. So I posed a quiz to you to see if you could tell the difference. You just refuse to answer the question.

The reality of this election is that President Bush and the Republican Party have let down their base. The base stayed home or voted a protest vote. Even the President admitted this, why can't you?
