I am in agreement with most of the Libertarian position. However, I would not waste my vote, voting a Libertarian for President. That is silly. Build a base at the grass roots level and start electing Libertarians in school boards, in city councils, then State houses and State senates. Then go on to the U.S. House and Senate, then the Presidency.

The Libertarians want all the marbles without going through the preliminaries. Their strategy sucks, as does virtually all the minor political parties.

I'll vote Bush, even though I have problems with the 'Pub agenda.

They're working on that. Much of the news on the LP site is of such small victories. I think the run for President is more symbolic and a way to get their message out.

But I don't think they can win for one main reason: The Republicrats campaign on left/right agenda issues and can get the big left/right block of votes. The Libertarians campaign on the Constitution, which spans the left and right agendas, meaning they could only get a small piece of the pie of each side.

Bingo. I can find a fair amount of common ground with the libertarian philosophy (though there are portions of their platform I will probably never be convinced to support), but frankly I think they need to get some more local office holders in place before going for the full burrito.
