I think what we've all lost sight of, in this pissing contest, is Rob's claim that the GOP would be easier to subvert/convert than the Democratic party. If libertarians had spent the last 30 years attending GOP precinct meetings and getting their people selected rather than trying to form a third party, freedom would have been better served. s>> Reality check again, Travis: you are not going to make the federal budget s>> smaller.
