For my part the GOP, as well as the Republicans can just go away and never come back. The recently started American Conservative Party is also proving to be less than stellar as noted by friend and fellow blogger Texas Fred. The Libertarian Party still offers the best hope for limited government but, alas, they too have gone off the deep end on so many issues. I am seriously beginning to believe that secession may be the only method of restoring the unalienable rights, liberties, and freedoms of individuals. One state at a time…
It’s the dream of every political strategist: a large and highly motivated group of voters ready to get out, work for, and financially support a slate of candidates whom they align with politically. True to form, the national Republican Party missed the opportunity to take full advantage of the Tea Party movement, mainly because the GOP is continuing to back candidates who don’t always work for lower taxation and less government.
Tea Party protesters angered by Republicans supporting Wall Street bailouts and the Waxman-Malarkey cap-n-tax bill are also bitter at the GOP establishment — particularly the National Republican Senatorial Committee — for backing certain incumbent or anointed candidates who are working with Leftists in Congress.
To that end, conservatives and political activist groups such as Club for Growth are throwing their support behind candidates whom the GOP establishment has shunned, such as Chuck DeVore in California for U.S. Senate; Marco Rubio in Florida for U.S. Senate (who is in a primary battle against the “moderate” outgoing governor Charlie Crist); and Doug Hoffman of New York, who, as we reported last week, opted to run under the Conservative Party banner after being spurned by local Republican officials. Instead, ACORN-backed Dede Scozzafava, whose positions make the Democrat candidate look like Ronald Reagan, is the official Republican candidate running in the upcoming Nov. 3 special election in New York’s 23rd Congressional District, though her campaign is out of cash. Backing ACORN candidates is unfortunately illustrative of the elite GOP’s mindset.
In a year where the political winds and poor performance of Democrats both favor a Republican resurgence, their treatment of this motivated voter bloc shows the national party is doing itself no favors by listening to the Beltway insiders rather than the people. GOP big shots may look back after next November and lament a lost opportunity.

Conservative Libertarian Outpost

It’s a sad state of affairs when this nation is engulfed with gutless bastards like the GOP, the Dems, the Libertarians, and yes, the ACP.
I had great hope for the ACP, I really did, but when PCness gets in the way of speaking the truth, screw ’em… I don’t play the PC game, and by GOD, this nation needs to find it’s head and get it pulled OUT of their asses.
We don’t need parties, TEA or otherwise, we need PATRIOTS, and sadly, we are coming up short.

The revamped 2008 Libertarian platform is no longer “off the deep end”. Test yourself against its positions at my web site, or read the whole thing at lp.org/platform.

Sorry Brian, but you just don’t get it. Platforms are one thing. Living up to them by the people of the party are another. I’ve been there, and done it. How long have you been a card carrying Libertarian? I joined in 1980 and left in 2006 when it became apparent that literal whack jobs had taken over.
I looked over your website, and I don’t see all that much that’s new. The Worlds Smallest Political Quiz doesn’t work there BTW. Perhaps people should go to the Advocates website.

There is another organiztion that would like to see congress swept out with the garbage that they are, and reset the United States to the Constitution. Have you ever heard of “Get out of Our House?” It’s a movement to expel congress in the November 2010 midterm election, and take control of the US house. If nothing else, take a look at them:

Note: be sure to use 3 “Os” as in “Get Out Of Our House”
If you only type in 2 Os, you end up at some Islamic website.
