I don't really care what Root thinks, nor do I really care much about the so-called 'libertarians' who are voting for Romney. Conservatives are in the closet all over our movement, and the sooner we get rid of them, the sooner we can draw from the democrats who seek more individual liberty and to encourage the market to produce socially desirable results. They are out there, but they do not want to join a party that is full of Republican rejects, often who support aggressive foreign policy and xenophobic immigration policy, both of which are severely at odds with the libertarian idea of market solutions to problems rather than protectionism or force.
Why should conservatives want to join a bunch of pothead stormfront everthing is the jews fault Libertarians?
