“Since only a tiny percentage of the people consider themselves “Libertarian” it is of no concern that there were no such questions. Why should there be? There were no questions from midgets either.”
intellectual honesty perhaps?
Probably because that "tiny percentage" of people makes up more than 10 percent of the electorate, and in battleground states right now the percentage of voters responding to polls who say they will vote for a 3rd party libertarian candidate is larger than the difference between the two leading candidates. If only the "tiny percentage" of people who consider themselves hard core libertarian all voted for Mitt Romney, he'd pick up quite a few states. If Mitt Romney can't capture the broader group of liberty oriented voters he'll lose to President Obama.
Successful Republican candidates know that they must get the support of the liberty oriented voters, and they usually do, even without much effort due to the statist nature of the Democratic party. But in a close election getting the votes of the liberty oriented voters is essential to any conservative or Republican victory.
Should there have been Green questions, Marxist questions and Fascist questions for “intellectual honesty” as well?
