"how to convince Libertarians to join the Republican Party"

The title of a funny but insightful post from Kenn Gividen on Republicans and (conservative/right) Libertarians...

His advice?

1. Stop referring to Libertarians as "Loser-tarians." It's highly offensive...a demeaning ad hominem attack....dozens of "third" parties have come and gone over the past 50 years. Only the Libertarians have survived and prospered; hardly the track record of losers.

2. Don't expect Libertarians to believe the GOP is a conservative party. With the exception of the Reagan era, moderates have been in firm control of the Republican Party....

3. Stop referring to liberal and moderate Republicans as "RINOs" — Republicans In Name Only. Expecting Libertarians to join your denial will get you nowhere....conservatives comprise a substantial faction within the GOP. But "conservative" and "Republican" are not synonymous....

4. Accept Ron Paul and other libertarian Republicans....

And then to close, this semi-tongue-in-cheek exhortation to the tolerant yet principled:

With the above in mind, consider joining the Libertarians.
