Mack, it's not a tirade about the GOP that you will get. To be clear, I am an American first, social and fiscal conservative second and Republican a distant third. But I am a realist and recognize that no matter how imperfect they may be, Republicans A) are much closer to believing what I believe, and B) actually have a chance of getting elected and influencing government.

It's not that I don't agree with Libertarians on a lot of fiscal issues. I clearly do. It's that Libertarians can't and won't win national office. To vote for them is to cut off your nose to spite your face. I am not into pyrrhic victories. But I can assure you that you and GF are reading way too much into Oblamers victory. We know how he won and had the GOP put forth a true conservative he or she would have beaten Obama. I understand your frustration with the GOPmand it is legitimate. But they are not a fringe party and Democrats will not win every time. Never happened and never will.
