he can poll a couple of percentage points for Badnarik and the Libertarians in those states -- and cost George Bush the election.

Losertarians are worse than the French.

Boortz had an article on Townhall earlier this week that was dead-on.

Until the Libertarians get off this legalize marijuana crusade, they will never be going anywhere. He said their biggest mistake was that the marijuana issue was always the first one they would talk about to potential voters, and it would immediately turn them off.

If they would focus their party around no federal taxes, personal liberty, private land ownership, etc.. they could make great inroads and become a minor player in U.S. politics. But it's just Marijuana, Marijuana, Marijuana, whenever these guys get any speaking time.

A vote for anyone but Bush is a vote for Kerry and the end of our Republic. Those dunderheads are worse than Dims.

Libertarians seem to be mostly ex-democrats.. If you had any sense you would'nt be a democrat, SO, after noticeing that socialism is a childish ideology but still reeling from democrat propaganda redux some become libertarians, others become curmudeons even dumber than Andy Rooney.. The smartest ones become neocons. Thats why the republican party is going south. Liberalism is indeed a mental disorder, a mental social disease, a political pariah. The cure ?... there is'nt one.. Ignorance is cureable but stupidity is not.

Libertarians are a naive group of pie-in-sky-the-way-it-ought-to-be-head-in-the-sanders with NO political viability whatsoever, fortunately. I asked Ron Paul once if the U.S. should have been involved in NATO in the '50s. He hemmed and hawed and finally said no. Stalin would have loved this guy...

I'm afraid to ask this question, but I'll ask it anyway. Since people do not vote directly for canidates but actually vote for the slate of electors committed to voting for the canidate.

What would happen, hypothetically, if say the libertarian and constitutional party selected, as there electors, the GOP slate. COuld a state have more people vote for Kerry, but have more people vote for Bush's slate without voting for Bush? Thus giving Bush the states electoral votes?

It was a question I saw asked on a lefty website, and it did get me wondering.

Republicans, especially, are scared to death to debate Libertarians because it's so easy to expose the R's as just another Big Stupid Government party.

Now that they control everything, they're out of excuses about why they won't deliver on promises of limited government. Record and accellerating spending, record deficits and vote-buying scams like "free" pills for greedy geezers aren't exactly limiting government. Nor is the assault on the First Amendment and continuing subsidies for everything from tobacco to mohair.

The Libertarians are counting on a RAT hegemony to drive the USA into a civil war, creating a void into which they can move and gain total control.

They realize that they cannot gain power by any other means.

Makes sense to me, because we all know Bush is more evil than Kerry. /sarcasm
