10 Reasons Why Working Within The GOP Is Important For Liberty

By Lina Bryce

Even though grassroots organizations serve to mobilize and energize the base like none other, we have to be realistic in our expectations with third-party runs when it comes to presidential campaigns. Overall, the Libertarian Party has proven to be ineffective in gaining enough votes in general elections to qualify for matching funds and the chances of that happening with a celebrity-type, populous candidate in the race, are slim. This isn’t to say that libertarians have not succeeded in their messaging; the idea lives on, but we must allow that message to permeate other political parties.

The reality is that a Republican will more likely vote for a libertarian-leaning nominee than an individual from any other party. It’s clearly demonstrated in recent GOP political polls that the prospect of having Democrat in the White House for another four years terrifies Republicans more than a candidate that doesn’t quite fit their mold. In fact, the moment for libertarians to work within the GOP, entrench the party with ideas that will broaden the Republican base is now.

Here’s a suggestion on places where we can start.

 

1. FISCAL CONSERVATIVISM

Republicans and libertatians tend to prefer lower taxes and allowing more people to keep their income. While some libertarians prefer a flat tax (really flat, like ‘zero’) and some Republicans don’t have conservative taxation policies, there is a lot of common ground on this matter.

Republicans don’t always offer the perfect answer for most libertarians, but we should look at the big picture. If the aim is to draw more people to these principles, the best way to do so is by demonstrating how it works in the real world. Working with one of the major parties gives us a more realistic chance at reducing the size and scope of government and lowering our taxes. These policies will make people richer and then even more libertarian approaches can be tried.
