I think I have written here before over FR that one of the interesting things about Libertarians for me was reading their willingness to vote Democrat or throw their vote down holes and tell others to do the same here at times (which benefits Democrats).

I’ve read post years back by some boasting of voting Democrat or against the Republican who had a chance to win out over the Democrat.

I think Libertarians from my readings of them at times have displayed a level of anarchism in their views.

I sure can’t believe the group that posts here like a pot worshiping drug cult as one-note Johnnys.
I have gone to read what stupidity DU folks write for a half hour about twice a year and there is a duplicate pot/drug worshiping one-note Johnny crowd there that repeats verbatim what some of our zealous drug promoting folks do.

I don’t know, I for one can see electing a Libertarian dog catcher, but I kind of at this point consider them more anarchist who are a bit radical from what I have read.

You can take things too far and I consider Libertarians at times as being extreme.

Just think of their past open border stances, drug stances, nearly NO government and basically no war stances that have been posted here.
Yeah, war isn’t pretty. War isn’t wanted or cherished as a goal, but sometimes various generations are required to put it out there for the sake of future generations and the right to continue to post on wonderful forums such as Free Republic.

Just my opinion, nothing set in stone here, I always read and may change my opinion somewhat later.

I can’t believe that a so-called conservative repeats the lie that the Republican party is conservative. If you think libertarians are going to vote for a political party that insults them, think again. In fact, about all I can discern, as a limited government conservative-libertarian is your comments exploit divisions between us and help the RAT party.

Once while discussing an upcoming election with a couple of friends who are completely liberal democrats, I commented that I was an independent and was planning on voting for a "third party" candidate.

Both became quite agitated and shouted that by voting for a third party candidate I was going to be helping the republican candidate..........

Now I hear from you that a vote for an independent candidate benefits the democrats...........

you can't both be right..............right?

Given the choice between big governmant progressives and big government conservatives the logical choice is the one that will use that government to interfere with personal liberty less. It's not rocket science.

Weren't you one of the few freepers who supported this guy's election a few years back?

I was caught up with the Libertarian beliefs and even joined the Libertarian party. Even know I seen problems with some of the arguments at the time I choose to ignore them much like conservatives choose to ignore the fact that no conservative representative votes for cuts in spending.

It took this war in Iraq (Gulf War II) to make me say I had enough of this crap from the Libertarians.
When they used the same lines that the Democrats use saying we had no reason to be in Iraq and stuff. That was enough for me.

I like to consider myself as a Conservative-Libertarian.

I still do not agree with the war on drugs or any other crime that directly affects the individual. In other words I don’t agree with collective laws, meaning if you do something wrong to yourself that affects the society as a whole. There can be other ways to deal with those problems socially rather then decaying our basic liberties.

As far as throwing your vote away… I used to believe I would only vote for a libertarian only when a Conservative had no chance, couldn’t lose or corrupted. Now I wouldn’t vote for a libertarian if I had to.
