The Libertarians seem to have been co-opted by elite globalists....

I would appreciate it if you could point me to some links that support this, as I have searched to no avail.

Please don’t think that I am arguing the point, as I plan to vote for Trump. I would like some convincing information to straighten out a close family member who thinks Johnson is a great choice.

IA, I am so sick of people wanting Trump to act presidential! I like his shoot-from-the-hip style. I LIKE THAT OUR ENEMIES FEAR HIM.

William Weld is the VP choice for the libertarians. When he was elected Governor in MA, the hope was he would keep the nutty legislature in line. Instead, he was more into a government that had little to do with constitutional conservatism, very elitist, and very well to go along with the liberal agenda.

I quit the Republican party many years ago. November 2008 to be exact.


That’s what the GOPe want. Jeb Bush and Amnesty Ryan thank you. Far better stay in the party and monkey wrench the corportists and their bought and paid for chattering classes.

I’ve been done with the GOP for years. And what the GOPe doesn’t realize that whether Trump wins or not, they are finished either way.

There’s a reason Trump got the nomination. People woke and realized that the GOPe sucks. We’re not going back to the Romney version of the GOP.

I’m joining you this year.


I’m not going anywhere. We need to be Amnensty Ryan’s worst nightmare. He wants a civil war. We can give it to him. In spades.

I believe you, but this person wants source material to back up such comments.

"....I LIKE THAT OUR ENEMIES FEAR HIM...."

Yeah, and not just our foreign enemies but OUR ENEMIES WITHIN. He has every America-hating, One World Order globalist politician, panicking and hyperventilating. They can see an outsider, who has a good chance to win, taking away all their power and influence, which is all they care about anyway.

Care about the country and it's people? Trump is the only one I see that genuinely wants to help the public and not the politicians. He can win with the voters but I fear that the Left is so fearful that their loser candidate, Hillary, can't beat him fairly and legally, that they will perpetrate the biggest voter fraud exercise in history and cheat their way to victory.

Clint Eastwood was right about saying this country is full of a bunch of "pussies" now. This 47-yo. registered Republican who claims he's throwing in the towel, is one of them.

These people aren't mature adults. They're just the thumb-sucking, whiney crybabies they act like because they aren't getting their way. They should bite their tongues, swallow hard and support Trump or they will get Hillary instead. And this country can't survive her.

I am a RRINO. Registered Republican In Name Only.

I will remain a “registered” Republican only as it benefits ME, not them.

To state that I am a “Republican” makes me want to PUKE.

The Rinse Penises, John McCains, Susan Collins, and Paul Ryans of the party pollute it to the point of being a cesspool.

I will NEVER again give any money to the GOP. NEVER! They are DEAD to me.

I will remain registered only to be able to vote in the primaries as that is how the rigged system in NY is set up.

Wait. Are you suggesting the (R) party is more in-line to the Constitution than the (L) party (I truly detest the ‘conservative’ moniker)??

If I may ask, as I’d rightly like to know: What has the (R) done in these two areas that keep you from the (L), or other, party [concur the (L) is wrong in a few\these areas.]?

Presuming the (L) party WOULD *fight*, given the wins necessary, for all planks of their platform (smaller govt, less taxes, support of ALL Rights, end of welfare), why stay in a party that only pays lip service to theirs?

Some say ‘we’re winning from the inside’. I fail to note any tally in the ‘WINS’ column; no reduction of the size/scope of govt...in my memory banks.

I think the same is true in my state...I can't vote in primaries if I'm not a reg. pub...

but I hate them all...

but I hate and despise and curse the rat party with all my inner soul....

our country is nothing but a banana republic...

putting some change in my little piggy bank last night and I just marvled at how cheap and light our pennies are and our dimes and our nickels...

pretty much represents our country...

can't say I'll be watching any or much of the Olympics this year, but I won't automatically be cheering for the good ol USA....the good ol USA was destroyed in 2008..

and yet assholes here on FR decided to keep that fag muzzi in the white hut....

the whole country is a freak show....

there are ONLY two parties...the two parties have some differences,but the rich and connected get the goodies no matter who...

the rats just do it with impunity...

the rats get their judges in and no case that would ever stem the power of the rats is ever ever going to be won....

the media and the judges and the elites will see to that...

we are a banana republic...

I often read about other countries like Mexico, and the corruption, and used to think we are so lucky that we have an honest rule of law nation....

well....no more....its gone...
