Sounds like a decent group of people, but they are misguided if they think that they are accomplishing anything other than taking votes away from a pro-life candidate with a legitimate shot at being elected. Libertarians in general have some good ideas, but their time and energy would be better spent lobbying within the Republican party, rather than offering themselves as an alternative.

OK...could you provide some evidence of that? Is there anything at all in the GOP's platform that is there because of libertarian influence, and how do you know? (I'm not trying to score a rhetorical point; I would love to hear that people like the RLC actually have some observable effect.)
