Merc...for the record, partisan is not limited to Democrat and Republican.

Partisan means supporting or espousing a particular position or cause with a bias.
noun
1.an adherent or supporter of a person, group, party, or cause, esp. a person who shows a biased, emotional allegiance.

adjective
3.of, pertaining to, or characteristic of partisans; partial to a specific party, person, etc.: partisan politics.
..and when you flood the discussion with links to libertarian opinions, not facts, you are flooding the discussion with partisan talking points.

Don't change the subject: it is Democratic talking points, not Libertarian. (I'll try to be a gentleman, and wag this reproving finger -- not some other.)

The Libertarians, however unwise they may be from time to time, reject Democratic talking points as half truths.

And do they not make a case sufficient to persuade the objective viewer? That means you'd end up wondering why you just can't make a dent. You seem to believe your ideas are persuasive enough to air them, rather than keep silent. We have our reasons, readily enough expressed, for holding a different view.
