Personally, I tend to be more in line with the Novak quote posted by one of your commenters, but there's no question SOMETHING has to change! Huck is a dangerous candidate and “leader” in the GOP.

Both are out of line, and I agree with Bill that, generally speaking, the GOP is less reprehensible. I may change my mind if the libertarians ever get serious and run an appealing candidate like John Stossel.

Ignoring the much more damning elements of modern Republicanism, isn't tradition-for-tradition's-sake fundamental here? I'm speaking principally here, that associating GOP principles with our own, is philosophically untenable and practically-speaking just confusing. And yes, Bob Novak did say that...

Isn't that what Bob Novak said at the AFP connvention? Libertarians need to stop being whiney contrarians, take a page out of the evangelicals' book, and use their voting power to shift the GOP party platform. It worked for them, and it would work for you. You are a fool if you think that small government will ever succeed in this country under any banner but that of the the GOP.
