That's an incredibly insensitive question. But one I'm not surprised of coming from a non-political Libertarian Party person such as yourself.
Yoh Steve, hate to break the news to ya, but Ron has many, many, many, many, many hardcore Republican supporters in Texas Congressional District 14 which stretches from the outskirts of Corpus Christi all the way up past Galveston Island, and includes Victoria, Bay City and his home of Lake Jackson/Freeport. To do as you suggest would basically be telling all these good Republican supporters in his District - Screw you! Ron cares little about the National Republican Party. He cares greatly about the Republican Party of Texas, and is a hardcore Republican in his own local area. All his friends in LJ are hardcore Republicans. Not to mention the vast majority (perhaps 95%) of all his contributors. Mann, you Libertarians are such dumbasses when it comes to real politics. No wonder you all can't win elections.
