You know they wouldn't have spent that kind of money unless they had faith Obama would help advance their agenda which is about as far from libertarian as you can get.<BR/><BR/>I will never understand your naivety about Obama, but have faith you will return to your libertarian ideals in time for 2012.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13647911379690432984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429305915843274151.post-79717888350528821522008-11-08T15:36:00.000-05:002008-11-08T15:36:00.000-05:00Another point of view: Election results: Obama win...Another point of view: <A HREF="http://liesandfairytales.blogspot.com/2008/11/election-results-obama-wins.html" REL="nofollow">Election results: Obama wins!</A>Polillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13118283520890133856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429305915843274151.post-82653755604468227882008-11-06T22:45:00.000-05:002008-11-06T22:45:00.000-05:00I wish you the best of luck, kerblam!

But I fear that we're in for at least two years of a bitter, populist, christianist Republican Party. <BR/><BR/>Either way, we'll still be libertarian allies even while working for opposing parties.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13534096073937573676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429305915843274151.post-22319974863549854372008-11-05T23:01:00.000-05:002008-11-05T23:01:00.000-05:00One more item: Fight to get as many Republicans (a...One more item: Fight to get as many Republicans (and conservatives, libertarians, and non-liberal Democrats) into Congress. Congress being of the opposing party as the President can lead to more conservative policies, at least on fiscal and anti-state matters - something we found out, during the Clinton years.<BR/><BR/>(I was quoted in <EM>Time</EM> Magazine, regarding this, in the last presidential election year.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429305915843274151.post-62314947789929366772008-11-05T22:04:00.000-05:002008-11-05T22:04:00.000-05:00"one"...lol...I meant won.

But I see you're making a case for joining the Democratic party instead. Well, both are good. Indeed, even desirable, I think. I'll stay with the Republicans, myself, as there are just too many unrepentant statists in the Democratic party who have no sympathy for libertarianism at all. Republicans can at least be approached on the ideal.<BR/><BR/>But in any case, I do think it's time for the LP to die. It does absolutely, positively no good off in its own amen corner. It hasn't one a single meaningful election in its 30+ year history. Worse, it marginalizes the voices of libertarians, who need to be in the mainstream, fighting the good fight.TC Fenstermakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06592962702691555763noreply@blogger.com
