If you would like to discuss a Libertarian philosophy on how these systems remain in place but are removed from the Federal purview, I would certainly love to talk to you about that - perhaps in PMs.

I never stated 'they want them to" I asked "are the tea party folks going to start building their own sewer systems?" I don't think I've twisted your words and I'd ask that you not twist mine. If you're going to twist my words at least have the courtesy not to question who's on moral high ground in the process.
I ask that question because I honestly do not know, from reading and watching interviews, what the solutions are as planned out by most tea party followers and candidates. Really most of what I read and see is "cut this... end that... repeal this... no, no and no." Most of these ideas make good slogans, good sound bites but the reality of them in action I greatly question.
Feel free to PM me anytime or simply start a thread and post your thoughts on "Libertarian philosophy."
I posted earlier I would vote for a conservative if I thought they'd actually do what they say they're going to do, but history shows they've failed repeatedly. I will tell you I did vote Bush the first time around and put serious thought toward voting McCain in 08. If the McCain of 2000 was still running in 08 I would have been more convinced. Then when he picked Palin and started making comments like "the economy is strong" when the DOW was in a complete free fall I lost a lot of my respect. At that point in time he looked like a lost old man and I didn't trust him with running the country. But I'd always respected McCain for his anti pork stand and I'll be interested to see how things play out in Alaska when Miller is elected. That state has been sucking on the fed teat so long if he does what he's promised I don't think a lot of Alaskans are going to like it.
