When campaigning it is Republicans that say things like, "I'm from the libertarian side of the Republican party". When speaking in interviews it is the Republican think-tanks that speak with a libertarian philosophy and then pretend to be aghast when Bush does the things you say above. When Grover Norqust, the biggest trend setter in the Republican party speaks about killing the government like a baby drowning in a bathtub, he is exspousing his libertarian, no government, ideals.
You didn't realize that Republicans run on your platform in all cases except when they are talking to the Kristian Konservative Kooks?
> Our record is much better in those areas than the Democratic Party's,
"Our record"? Dude, you've never gotten anyone elected in a significant position. That's like a virgin whining that he'd be great in bed if only someone would have sex with him to find out. If a Libertarian candidate got into Congress then and only then would you have a receord. Until then, it's just a philosophy. And heaven forbid someone from the LP got elected to Congress he'd be unable to make any impact because his own supporters would disown him for the littlest compromise.
