[QUOTE="Albion, post: 67199158, member: 93831"] Probably. While there are those Libertarians who'd oppose you on some of what you've said, there are those other Libertarians who would be very much in step with you on every point. The party is made up of a large number of factions, so there's no reason that I can see why you should feel reluctant. When you turn to the Conservative alternative, you'd be comfortable with them on most everything you wrote except perhaps for your receptiveness towards same sex marriage. The deciding issue, therefore, might be that there's a Libertarian Party (as well as libertarian organizations), but there isn't a national Conservative Party. There is the Constitution Party, but it's so small and not organized in most states. Almost all social conservatives instead work through the Republican Party, and it houses many "Establishment" types which are in control in most places and would oppose almost all that you said you favor. So, would you want to walk into that kind of a situation? Some are eager to do battle for the soul of the party, but other people are sick of doing that. [/QUOTE]
