That's a BS answer, for this reason: There were many state-level races in Texas where the GOP candidate was a rock-solid conservative in the Reagan mold. The LP still ran a candidate, the candidate pulled about 3% in races, and the Democrat won. See Texas HD-52 race.
The LP party is a threat to our liberty, by dividing the pro-freedom vote and allowing anti-freedom Democrats to win.
lol, First of all libertarians are not lackeys of the Republican party that you can order around. We will vote for whoever we damn well please, so you might as well get used to it and quit whining.
Secondly, I would say that it is the socialist wing of the Republican party, along with the Democrats of course, that is a threat to our liberty. If they hadn't nominated a socialist moron like McCain to the head of the ticket, enough Republicans would have shown up to elect all sorts of other Republicans into office without any help from libertarians.
Republicans lost big because of disappointment with the Republican party. That disenchantment came not just from libertarians but also from Republicans, so go ahead and blame libertarians if it makes you feel better, but it's not our fault that the Republican party $ucks right now.
