Sorry, but not agreeing with Anarchists, Secular humanists and National marijuana Party members does not a fascist or totalitarian supporter make.
What is lacking in the above group to a degree and your disingenuous positioning of conservatives, is called balance.
Where's the balance in anarchy? Where's the balance in having the goal of wiping out Christian values and faith? Where the balance in promoting getting stoned?
Personally, I don't see value in it at all, never mind balance.
Painting a broad picture,-and that's all Libertarians do, is paint 'broad pictures'...
how does having a laissez-faire attitude to personal freedoms, but a militia-like defense of the Constitution and Bill of Rights even work together?
Don't misunderstand, there are good people who buy into Libertarian views.
I don't. Poorly thought out, no real consensus amongst them and the most popular members are all registered Republicans.

The Ross Perot result merely re-enforces that potentiality amongst the Republican Establishment and 'could' force a reality adjustment...
A side note. I fully expected a negative reaction from Republican Establishment supporting posters. I find it encouraging, frankly, as they see what a monkey wrench to their plans this could be.
Jeb Bush vs Hillary Clinton...I cannot recall any Presidential election choice that offered two candidates as unpopular as these. Never has an election been set up so perfectly for someone to tip the 'House of Cards' and change the game completely as this one is.....

This is just another reason why there will always be a struggle in politics. In a way, it makes arguing back and forth almost pointless.
So, if you want a conservative to do what you want -- scare them into it. If you want a liberal to do something, explain it logically.

The Republicans also failed in overriding the KeyStone pipeline veto

Assuming the latter, none of those views reflect conservatives in the slightest. At least that I know and that's all I care about. So continue as long as you want. No fish left in this pond...

The Republican Establishment is motivated by fear. Fear of media backlash. Fear of gov't shutdown. Fear of the millennial generation.
Fear of the loss of Big business financial support....fear.

The problem Republicans have is the Senate needs 60 votes to pass (most) bills.
And even then, Obama will be vetoing everything sensible.
But to the immigration memos, Obama has to beat that in court now.
The whole thing is a stalemate.

Not to mention many more Bills passed that will force an Obama veto...let's not leave out the appeasement side of the strategy that 'shows' they 'tried' to pass "conservative bills" to placate the right and argue against a third party....
