How about Republicans quite whining about third parties being spoilers and give the third party voters some incentive to vote for them (e.g. not doubling the size of government in eight years)?

Well said!

EXACTLY!!

The people wanted Bush out so they voted for 0bama who was furthest from him. I really think McCain would have been 4 more years of the same.

I would think that they would be unhappy at the obama victory. If we ran the election again, would they still vote Barr? Probably many of them. Sadly, to many of them, their selfish principal is more important than the whole outcome of the election.

You're kidding, right?

What kind of incentive do Americans need to convince them to not vote for a Marxist?

If people want to live in a welfare state, what Republican could POSSIBLY in any way, shape or form attract their vote?

Third party voters are completely ignorant of how the American political system works. Your post demonstrates the essential irony:

According to you, TPL (third party losers) voted TP because the Republicans "doubled the size of government in 8 years."

Even if you're correct, by voting TP, those idiot voters helped elect an administration that will double the size of government every 2 months in perpetuity. Think LBJ was in office barely 4 years and his Great Society/Welfare State will NEVER be fully dismantled.

So, they refused to vote for "big government" Republicans, and therefore helped elect Marxist Democrats.

Wonder why they are reviled and their whining is abhorred?

No different than the many posters I used to talk with who claimed they would "never" vote for McCain because he wasn't sufficiently pro-life. Thanks a lot: every refusal to vote for McCain helped elect the most virulently pro-abortion/pro-death president in history. And will give that pro-death president at least 2 Supreme Court picks, which will get through the Rat-majority Congress. It's just idiotic.

how about just admitting that third party votes ALWAYS get the worse candidate elected....ALWAYS!

WARNING, WARNING, LOGIC ALERT.

Ummm... last time I checked, they did:

Walter Block: Barr-Root ticket ‘LESS libertarian’ than Sarah Palin

So it seems the kool-aid drinkers voted turd party anyway, EVEN when the Republican candidate had a BETTER track record on their issues than the Libertarian nominee.

Screw Barr voters and the horse they road in on. If they want to vote for someone who cheers on Obama, snubs their icon Ron Paul, and worships the cult of gorebull warming, they should just join the RAT party and get it over with.
