What would happen if the GOP goes Libertarian?

Here's a close election:

I actually think it would look a lot like Ford v. Carter 1976.

I'll give you an idea of what I mean by the GOP trending libertarian.

The party mainstream is between +3.00 and +6.00 on economic issues in the atlas political matrix. The party mainstream is between -3.00 and -8.00 on social issues, depending on the region.

The deep south sticks with the Republicans for guns and abortion

Any serious libertarian Party must be pro-choice. The right of self-ownership is not negotiable.

Are you serious? There are many pro-life libertarians and it isn't very hard to justify. Abortion=murder. Murder isn't acceptable to libertarians. Therefore, abortion isn't acceptable to libertarians. THose who don't see abortion as murder obviously won't care. But libertarians can go either way on the issue and still be libertarians.

No, they can't. And the ones that do aren't libertarians.

A fetus is a parasite, which cannot survive independently from the mother and provides nothing in turn for the mother. It is the biological version of a welfare queen. It therefore is not human life. Banning abortion hence violates the right of self-ownership of the mother.

"Pro-life libertarians" are not libertarians, just as Ron Paul is not a libertarian. He is a paleoconservative. Anyone who pretends to be both is self-delusive. Fin.

This, my friends, is why the LP remains a fringe party.

And this, my friends, is why the Libertarian Party garners an impressive 0.40% in elections.

This, my friends, is why the LP remains a fringe party.

The game's up, Vepres.

I'll never talk!
