SEIU to defeat those North Carolina Democrats who voted against Ocare. Okay, blue dogs went from endagered species to nonexistent already with passage of Ocare. What’s next, scattering of their ashes in the desert? More, please

I’d be very interested to know where this union third party strategy fits in with Obama 2010 legislative agenda.

Activists Taking Action: Unified Patriots

thought once they could co-opt libertarians who did not like Bush’es big government. The reality is the Dems are for big government in everything, they want socialism in the economic sphere and political correctness in the personal sphere. What they don’t want anywhere is individualism.

They would have better luck trying to pick off social cons who think government should tell people how to live than they ever would have with libertarians. What amazes me is that some still think libertarians are anything other than radicals, they are not “moderate” in any way shape or form.

you know, the people with the real jobs, better wake up and smell the coffee. It’s not about big labor, it’s about gubmint big labor. The latter now eclipses the former in terms of membership for the first time ever. If the Henry Waxman inquisitions of Deere, Cat, and AT&T aren’t dots they connect to their jobs, they’re screwed. If Soviet styled industrial policy disguised as green jobs doesn’t make them rethink their political allegiance, nothing will.

I am a registered Republican although I lean heavily towards Libertarian views. I fought tooth and nail to keep this bill from getting passed. I wrote, I called, I emailed, I sent postcards. I banged my head against that brick wall so many times, I now have a dent in my forehead. Nothing I did kept this bill from becoming law. I will vote for whomever will repeal this law. I will contribute to and support any challengers of those who voted for this bill.

We don’t need the government to watch over every single step we take in our lives. We aren’t stupid, knuckle-dragging, mouth breathing neanderthals. I am so angry, I could chew 10 penny nails and spit out tacks.

That’s one “Libertarian” view for you, Professor!

and the people, union or not, who work for them. I think we should help them to do that.

You’ve got to admit, despite all the mixing of tenses, run-on sentences and use of premises as conclusions, this author is articulating thoughts that young voters are discussing today:

And so do we all with a bit more hindsight. Consider this a shot from the dark from the minds-full-of-mush who also vote, but not so much in mid-term elections.

The libertarians had good reason to be disgusted with the Republican Party during the Bush years. We did not even come close to living up to the small, limited government aspects of our own political platform. The liberaltarian argument made a certain amount of sense when they were not getting anything from Republicans that even slightly resembled fiscal sanity. I have pretty strong libertarian leanings (although I think the open borders stuff is insanity) and I came very close to re-registering as independent. The only reason I did not was so that I could participate in the Republican Primaries in Wyoming as that is the only game that matters here. I hope the Republican Party has learned some lessons. They have done pretty well as opposition which is a step in the right direction. But I am sceptical because the majority of the leadership from the Bush years is still in leadership.

The Republican Party should be the natural home for libertarians but I think the jury is still out as to whether or not it will be.
