Bottom line:

The substantive issues the Libertarians raise are never
going to get a hearing, much less productive debate,
until the menace known as the Democrat Party is reduced
to its various warring constituent groups.

If the Dems ever get majority control of the US again,
elections will become 100% shams.

big-L Libertarians cannot expect my support.

The Big Ls are targeting swing states. ....it's their only hope of "making a difference."

[AndyTheBear]

Have to doubt that the Libertarians will make much of a dent. The Libertarian party is siding with the Democrats on the war on terror, and that is why I left to become a Republican in 2002.

It is greatly annoying that Bush has tried to placate the left by over spending on social programs. But we are talking about putting the survival of this country in the hands of those who care more about trying to sucking up to the Socialist cliche at the U.N. then defending American lives.

Menace?

I would hardly consider a tiny irrelevant group of wack-jobs who cannot even garner 1/2 of 1% in an election a MENACE.

LOL!

I question the timing of this article. LOL

Kinda stupid article -- if everybody who'd voted Libertarian in losing states had voted for W, it would have been less than 1% -- not enough to swing the popular vote to Bush from Gore.

The LP does NOT side with the democrats on the war on terror. They loathe the pacifism of the left and want to get the U.S. out of the UN as soon as possible. They believe in deterrance and direct strikes against terrorist groups. I happen to agree with them. I think the $200billion++ spent in Iraq would have been put to much better use by increasing the CIA and NSA budgets by 10,000%, creating the ultimate spying/espionage/counter-terrorism force on the planet. We could have infiltrated and destroyed them from within...This is the only way to defeat these people. We can't beat a worldwide network of terror cells by mounting a Normandy-esque invasion of a single country. I think most honest conservatives realize this now.

Fellow Libertarians should not vote with the party this year. "Libertarian" Michael Badnarik is a dangerous fraud. Badnarik--who is Lebanese and has taken tons of cash from the American Muslim Alliance (the group from which even Hillary returned the contributions!) has disturbing ties to supporters of Islamic terrorism. The Muslims are using the "Libertarian" label to hurt Bush. Badnarik is a total phony. Libertarians should not be fooled by this Wahhabist stooge!
