Republicans and "Conservative" Establishment to Libertarians: Drop Dead (Again)

So Ron Paul wins an essentially uncontested straw poll at the Conservative Political Action Conference, and is not only roundly booed for his troubles, but a conference spokesman "rushed over to reporters after the announcement to make sure they had heard the unmistakable boos." So, the small government people show up, are the only ones with the discipline and coherent vision to actually vote for someone who represents their views, and the organizers run away from them as quickly as possible.

I will repeat myself (again): Attention, people who actually believe in small government (classical liberals and libertarians), the Republicans don't WANT you. Quit hanging around, hoping they'll let you sit at the cool kids' table. They don't fucking want you. Take a clue from the Kid here: I never cared about sitting at the cool kids' table. When you're comfortable in your own skin, come join us at the freaks and geeks table.

Note: They don't want, or respect, your VIEWS, that is. They will be happy, of course, to take your votes and money, as long as you are stupid enough to give them.

Peace.
