Libertarians are few and far between. They have zero impact on elections. They are an antiwar, anti big govt party. Why any conservative thinks they would vote GOP is beyond me. I think many freepers like to bash and scapegoat them because they hate folks who smoke MJ (as though lots of Republicans don't)
If every conservative voted it would still not be enough. You have to get enough votes from the middle to get over 50%. That's what the dems did this year and we didn't. (with plenty of help from the fish wrap producers)
The first step in fixing a problem is recognizing what it truly is.
The Libertarian in MT certainly had an "impact" on that election. He got about 5 times the number of votes separating the Democrat and Republican. Had been off the ticket even a slight break toward Pubbies by those libertarian voters would have given Republicans the seat.
