the libertarian candidates can claim success this time.
So far they have prevented Ted Stevens from winning. Possibly Norm Coleman. And probably Saxby Chambliss.
And instead, they will have handed a 60 vote supermajority in the Senate to the party who has an out-of-the-closet Socialist in their caucus to rubber stamp our first Marxist President.
Thanks Libertarians!!!! You’ve really proved your point to the rest of us. The GOP isn’t perfect so you are ensuring that until they become perfect they will be punished by watching marxists getting elected instead of them. Boy, we’re really going to learn our lesson THIS time!
Dean Barkley is not a Libertarian, Ted Stevens lost because he committed felonies and the Democrats in DC engineered his verdict to come out days before the election.
In Georgia, there will not be a Libertarian in the runoff. It’s up to the Conservatives in Georgia to go out to vote for him to make sure Obama doesn’t have an 60 votes in Senate.
Exactly. Even if I *were* inclined to vote for a Libertarian candidate (which, as a Neo-Ciceronian, I wouldn't be), I would not do so because not only is it a wasted vote, but it is also a POSITIVE vote for the full, both-barrels-for-socialism Democrat candidate. Frankly, the best thing that can happen in an election under the system we currently have is for the Libertarians (and other pissant little pseudo-conservative parties) to fail to even get ballot access.
Notice - the greatest actual successes that libertarians have achieved (and they have many things going for them, ideologically speaking, even though I rag them hard) is when they have worked THROUGH the Republican Party. Maybe they need to take a clue from this, and help conservatives take back the Party for smaller government, and help kick the big-gubmint RINOs out?
Blame Stevens for his own problems. ANd if RINO Norm couldn’t take out the clown POS Franken, that too is a reflection on Norm. Chambliss will win easily.
You are correct. The only thing libertarians are good at is taking Senate seats away from Repubicans, thus padding the Democrat majority.
The Libertarians aren’t responsible for Ted Stevens losing. Ted Stevens and the GOP are responsible for that. He should never have been allowed to run under the GOP banner.

In fairness to the Libertarians, these guys lost or may lose, because they were RHINO'S.
