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.
Laugh all you want. the LP destroyed good pro-freedom candidates in our local area. THE LP DELIVERED SEATS TO SOCIALISTS. Wake up from your dream and smell the effing coffee - libertarians like you were played and the liberal Democrat machine is laughing all they way to majority power, where they will take away your and my tax money and freedom.
That’s not the worst part: The worst part is the Libertarian Party here delivered races to Democrats DELIBERATELY, it was their EXPLICIT agenda, and you seem to be completely dense that you cant even read what I wrote.
“3. Gerald Daugherty lost his re-election bid for County Commissioner in Travis County. Gerald is the only County Commissioner who consistently voted for tax and budget cuts in Travis County. We will miss him dearly.”
Who killed him? An LP candidate name Wes Benedist who made it his mission to destroy Daugherty, a pro-taxpayer conservative Republican. Wes got 5% in a race where the margin of difference between Dem and Rep was 2%. Wes also said his goal was to destroy the local Republican party - note, NOT the local Democrats - who raise ALL the taxes and demand MORE in bonds and who actually RUN the county with 53 out of 54 seats ... no, not them, he’s after the rump GOP party that is barely hanging on ... WHY!?!? Who’s paid him off to do the dirty work of the Democrats!?!?
For all I know the Texas Democrats have bought and paid the LP to pull these stunts, for it is a gift for the liberal Democrats.
Not just this race but many other races:

“Libertarians are targeting the Central Texas races to replace retiring Reps. Mike Krusee in Williamson County”
THE ELECTION RESULTS ARE IN. The libertarian got more than the margin of difference in this district and managed to deliver it for the Democrat, by peeling off several percent of the taxpayer low-Government vote from a solid pro-taxpayer low-Government Republican non-incumbent.
I am not berating the small l libertarians, I am attacking the Libertarian Party, which has been in cahoots with the Texas Democrats and liberals to destroy the Republican advantage in Texas.
It is pathetic and completely irresponsible on your part not to admit or own up to the responsibility on the part of the Libertarian Party in delivering this race to the left-wing liberal Democrat, a bigtime Obama-type.
“We will vote for whoever we damn well please, so you might as well get used to it and quit whining.”
Well we all vote what we will, but if you vote for Libertarian Party hacks and deliver elections to Democrats, I am calling you a shill and a moron for helping to election socialist Democrats. And if you think these good conservative Republicans are ‘just as bad’ or you think bashing them or GOP, it only shows your utter ignorance of these good particular candidates.
BTW Your bashing of Republicans is as useless as tits on boar. Pelosi was the speaker for the last 2 years - give HER some crap for a change! You got socialists elected. Well done. I hope you’re happy, cause I am not happy people like the ONLY taxpayer-friendly guy in our local Government was stabbed in the back by the Libertarian Party.
“go ahead and blame libertarians if it makes you feel better” I say it because it is the TRUTH! Again, I blame the Libertarian Party, which DELIBERATELY TARGETTED GOOD CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS FOR DEFEAT AND DELIBERATELY STRATEGIZED TO ELECT LIBERAL DEMOCRATS! I dont blame small-l libertarians except for being shills and fools for voting for this party, probably not knowing the damage they are inflicting on the cause of freedom.
If I sound mad, it’s because I am. There is stupid and there is the mind-blowing stupidity of lining up a circular firing squad and destroying your own. The LP is the second-most dangerous anti-liberty organization in America, after the ACLU. The LP is stupid, arrogant and counterproductive beyond belief.
FOR SHAME!
