I have libertarian sympathies, to say the least, but Smith is a bit hyperbolic here.

Just a smidge. It's really counterproductive to express such hostility for the GOP, because it alienates Republicans who could be persuaded to support libertarian policies.

I agree. But I also think he made a number of very valid points at the same tmie (along with some invalid ones).

Republicans are deluding themselves if we think that Libertarian votes are "rightly ours", or that we're the "party of freedom" without fault.

I think Smith is entirely wrong-headed on foreign policy, but when it comes to his list of domestic Republican failures, he scores some excellent bullseyes.
