Ummm, because we're on a thread talking about libertarianism?
Libertarian actions speak far louder.
OK, let's use my actions as an example. I'm a libertarian and yesterday I held my nose and voted for liberal RINO dip$hit Tom Kean Jr here in Jersey. I also voted to re-elect top-ACU-rated Rep. Scott Garrett, but not after spending money and time throughout the campaign to help him win. I also hounded otherwise politically uninterested family members in Maryland and Ohio to vote Republican as a personal favor to me.
I honestly think that your aversion to libertarianism comes from the heyday of the FR drug thread flame wars. I suspect that you were treated badly by some of the jerks and now paint libertarians with a broad brush. Your unwillingness to even share your opinions on libertarian issues is what makes me suspect this.
The fact is though, that as of yesterday, we're in a bad situation politically. Dangerous people are in charge of the House. They love seeing petty bickering amongst conservatives as it only enables them. We need to stick together.
If you were willing to answer my questions earlier, I bet you that we would agree on almost every issue. The fact that we're both big fans of Rep. Pence should indicate this.
Yesterday, after years of attempting to unify and energize all conservative voters with BS like that, many libertarians didn't hold their noses, they voted for "conservative" candidates and many others stayed home.
