Where'd you guys get that crazy idea, anyways? The GOP? Smaller government? Since when?

I'm surprised to find there are still some people that are still under the delusion that the party that parades around as "conservative" is actually interested in conserving anything. I was last told by a GOP supporter that the term applies, and always has, to only "family values". Not spending, not government, not people's rights. Family values.

Well, that cleared up my confusion right there.

...and yet, so many Libertarians leans towards a party that openly shreds the constitution, supports an illegal war and involvement outside the borders, allows the country to bleed away tax dollars, etc, etc.

I second Happy Monkey's confusion in this.
