You had me agreeing with you til that last comment? "Drifting to the Left." Huh? Most people would have said the opposite; drifting to the Right.
No, absolutely NOT, do I wish the Libertarian Party to "disband." And I seriously doubt GA RLCers would wish that either. The LP serves a very useful service in many regards for the liberty movement. The LP can and should act just like the Conservative Party of New York State. Hanging out there as a useful ballot access tool that libertarians can use against the GOP, when the GOP gets super stupid. You run a RINO, fine. We'll just run so and so on the Libertarian line, making sure you can't win in the General. The LP can also serve as a "club" of sorts for Geeky types who have few social skills. The very LAST THING THAT I WANT, is for some Geeky LPer to show up at Republican events talking about why Meth-amphetimine should be legalized. Better for them to hang out in the LP and not embarrass us less tolerant Republicans. Ahh, I guess it's okay for them to hang out in the back of the room at an RLC - hosted Hospitality suite at a State GOP function late at night when everyone is boozed up, even the stuffy-ass Republicans. But on the convention floor the next day at our outreach booth; not only NO BUT HELL NO!! --- In [email protected], doug craig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Eric what did you do in the navy?
