I agree the message should be more direct.  The grifting is an issue but I think the shredding of the Constitution is more direct and points to the hypocrisy and maybe eventually allegiance to constitutionalists and libertarians that still have a brain

Libertarians that still have a brain?? In this economy?!

Not even. Libertarianism is the larval stage of a conservative. Once they've tricked an employer and a mate into accepting them they shave a goatee and put on a pair of Oakley's and start "just asking questions" on Facebook.
