Ok, I got my asbestos long-johns on, so flame away.

[Cincinatus]

No flame -- just an observation. One reason NOT to vote Libertarian:

1. You've thrown away your vote on a candidate who will never be elected.

[EBUCK]

OMG!!!! You are gonna get blasted, not in any meaningfull, literate, cogent manner mind you, but blasted...

EBUCK

PING!

[Lurking2Long]

1. Free drugs.

2. Free pot.

3. Free grass.

4. Free dope.

5. Free hemp.

6. Free weed.

7. Free hash-hish(sp?).

8. Free marijuana.

9. Free joints.

10. Free rolling papers!

There, I think I overed all the reasons someone would want to vote Libertarian!

Wait - let me finish popping some popcorn. This ought to be interesting to watch...

You forgot the number one reason: To elect rats and keep the socialist state intact.

[Shooter 2.5]

The major reason I will not vote for a Libertarian:

They want to open up the borders and disband the Border Patrol.

[BonnieJ]

Having voted for Perot in '92, I would say there is NEVER a reason to vote for any 3rd-party candidate, no matter how valid you feel their agenda and priorities, or how angry you are at your own political party. You are helping to give the election to someone VERY far from your values and position on every issue. And what do you really gain from voting your conscience and taking your principled stand? Absolutely nothing, esp. long-term.

[Uncle Miltie]

11. To oppose the war against Saddam.

12. To elect a Democratic majority Senate (See Slade Gorton formerly R-WA, 2000.)

[Wait4Truth]

I won't flame you. I will just say that this election if far too important to vote for any third party candidate. This election determines whether the Bushes or the Clintons and McAuliffe run the legislative agenda - including security, the judiciary, defense and taxes. This is a no-brainer. VOTE REPUBLICAN. THERE IS TOO MUCH AT STAKE.

Eight Reasons NOT To Vote Libertarian

(1) Libertarian candidates focuse exclusively on the War on Drugs, which doesn't concern many people and also portrays the Libertarians as druggies and hippies.

(2) A vote for the LP is ALWAYS a vote for the DemocRat.

(3) Libertarians ALWAYS attack the Republicans when they should be attacking the DemocRats.

(4) Libertarians haven't been elected to squat except to obscure village and town board departments.

(5) Libertarians favor open borders, which means that terrorists can waltz right through.

(6) Libertarians offer NO SPECIFICS as to what type of revenue system the government would use if taxes are abolished.

(7) Libertarians are WEAK in foreign policy - they'd coddle all the dictatorships and evil regimes out there with "free trade."

(8) Porn, drugs, and street crime would become rampant. Think of NYC and Times Square before Guiliani cleaned it up.

[FreeReign]

4..Your freedom is not given by the Constitution. It is given from a higher power. Libertarians understand that the Constitution merely sets it down on paper.

Correct, freedom IS given from a higher power than the Constitution. However, The Constitution is NOT necessarily the setting down on paper of what freedom is.

The Constitution may define unalienable rights. The Constitution does define Constitutional rights.

[ChadGore]

Libertarians. We drink our own bong water.

[Destructor]

One real good reason not to vote for Libertarians is that they can't get elected! A vote for a Libertarian is a wasted vote! A candidate can't do a damn thing, if that candidate doesn't get elected to the office.

I really wish this thread would get yanked, as it is an attempt by a Liberal Dimocrat infiltrator to divert votes from the Republicans.

[kidd]

10. Libertarians are the only political people that believe that 98% of our citizens are morally good enough and intelligent enough to run their own lives. Basic laws are there to protect us from the other 2%

2%, coincidently, is the percentage that votes Libertarian.

Disclamer: this poster takes no responsibility for the reader making any kind of conclusion from this post. Nor does this poster even mention drugs or imply that drug users are immoral, unintelligent and can't run their own lives without goverment assistance.

[HamiltonJay]

Just one of the many reasons NOT to vote Libertarian

While I agree with many of their claimed principles, the party is hypocritical and this party is just not ready for prime time. BTW this is a current libertarian canidate, and no there is nothing wrong with your monitor.. he turned himself blue taking chemicals in preparation for Y2K...

[Mr. Mojo]

I want my weed, I want my harlots, and I want the gov't out of my smokin' and f-in' business.

Do I ask to much?

[snarkpup]

Ok, I got my asbestos long-johns on, so flame away.

I don't think asbestos long-johns are legal. You'll have to get some Libertarians elected if you want so see this on store shelves. Anyway, in the spirit of being fair and balanced:

One more reason to vote for a Libertarian: You're in a district where Republicans always lose by a 4:1 margin anyway; and the Republicans are running a Democrat.

One more reason to vote against Libertarians: There really are some things you don't want your next door neighbor doing.

#11...

You can look at yourself in the mirror, and your children in the eye.

11. Libertarians will work to have cocaine, heroin, and all those other liberating drugs in every pot.
