Tindsr,
On a related note. If a powerful Libertarian runs he will be stealing a huge chunk of the gay vote from Obama.
I am not afraid of a 3rd party candidate anymore. Most will steal more from the Democrats who won't vote for Republicans, but are starting to hate the Chicago politicians controlling their party.
The actual Republican Establishment –- political consultants, The Wall Street Journal, corporate America, former Bush advisers and television pundits -- are exhorting Mitt Romney to flip-flop on his very non-Establishment position on illegal immigration.
Both as governor of Massachusetts and as a presidential candidate, Romney has supported a fence on the border, E-Verify to ensure that employees are legal and allowing state police to arrest illegal aliens. He is the rare Republican who recognizes that in-state tuition, driver's licenses and amnesty are magnets for more illegal immigration.
These positions are totally at odds with Establishment Republicans who pander to...
I would agree, but only if the candidate is truly 100% socially Libertarian...."pro-choice", open borders, complete drug legalization, etc.
