Can you vocalize/post what the views or platforms of your party's/group's you find difficult to stomach and why?
My party is the Libertarian party and any politician advocating classical liberal views, regardless of the party in which they reside.
The thing I tend to criticize about my fellow Libertarians is the tendency to speak of end goals without the need to PHASE in the policies we want to see. For instance, all libertarians agree the federal government has no place in the healthcare market...but we can't realistically eliminate medicare overnight. Similarly, we want less military interventionism...but we can't realistically bring all the troops home now. I wish Libertarians would put forth more plans that include phasing out current tactics while phasing in our freedom-oriented policies. It took us 100 years (40 at least) to get into this big government/fiscal mess, it's going to take a few years to get out of it.
