And for what? Over a balanced budget?

Whether or not we enslave the next generation to our debt is the greatest moral issue of our time.

Whether or not we enslave the next generation to our debt is the greatest moral issue of our time.

That has to be one of the most tragic statements that I have ever read on Free Republic. The war on terror is the greatest moral issue of our time. Do you guys want us to loose the war? Why don't you just come right out and say it? This election victory by the democRATS has been hailed by Al-Quida. Do you feel happy about that?

Since money is the most important thing to the libertarians, allow me to illustrate what we could be facing. The democRATS have been vowing to weaken the Patriot Act. What if they do, and as a result some knuckleheads sneak a nuke into Los Angles? The terrorist threat is real. This could happen. Now, I understand that you don't care about the humanity of many Americans getting killed in such an event, so I would then ask you to think about what the financial cost of such an event would be. Just in terms of dollars, any balanced budget would be shot in an instant. The cost would be multiple billions. The DOW would probably plummet overnight. In other words, your precious budget wouldn't mean a whole lot after such an event.

If the libertarians were really upset with the Republicans spending, they should have taken out the heavy spenders in the primaries not in the elections. You guys supported the party of John Kerry. If you guys were upset with the Republicans, you should have taken them out in the primaries.

In other words, you're timing was rotten and the decision was foolish. Don't try to blame other people for what is your responsibility.

One thing that I've always found fascinating (fascinating as in watching a train wreak fascinating) about the libertarian complaint that they are not being represented. They don't get involved in the primaries, they do much to back stab Republicans who stray a little off course, and in the end complain about not being represented.

The libertarians wanted Terry Schiavo dead. They got that and they still are not happy. The libertarians are pro abortion. The laws on the books are still pro abortion and the libertarians are still not happy. The libertarians complain about a tax cut, because it was done in the middle of a war. Why bother with them? I don't think the libertarians even know what they want.
