There won't be any kind of right wing revolution in the next two years though Naemanson. Give the Republicans credit where it is due. They will further their agenda in much more insidiously subtle and secretive ways.

You are right Jed Marum--the Republicans have succeeded in co-opting the Libertarians, apparently without giving the Libertarians a bloody thing. BTW, I mean this sincerely. Would you mind explaining what you see as the ideological differences between yourself as a Libertarian and being a Bush Republican? I'm quite curious about that. So many people claim to be Libertarians with a big "L" and independent libertarians with a small "l" nowadays. I know they felt locked out of the Republican Party. There once was a Libertarian Party (associated with a nutcase, Lyndon La Rouche) that was about as strong as the Greens are now. But the party seemed to disappear once the two party government locked La Rouche up for doing what all the Democrats and Republicans were doing, and Ross Perot managed to buy his own third party. It was the later Reform Party republicans turned independents who elected Ventura. We now know that the voters who went for Ventura were largely Republicans who didn't like Coleman, and under 40 white males who claimed to have been disenfranchised by affirmative action and women's rights.

I'm really curious to hear how you think your political views differ from those of the Reagan/Bush/Gingrich/De Lay Republicans, because I really can't see any diference between the two.
