Democratic hopes of maintaining a razor-thin Senate majority may hinge on an unexpected outside force: Libertarians.
In the battlegrounds of Montana, Arizona and Missouri, polls show the Libertarian nominee poised to siphon a fraction of the vote — a small fraction, but potentially enough to tip the outcome in a cliffhanger. And with the battle for the Senate shaping up to be a coin-flip proposition, no factor — not even fringe candidates with little more than a Libertarian label to propel their campaigns — is too insignificant to dismiss.
Given the small-government mantra of Libertarian voters, Democratic officials see the development as a major boon.

No fieldmarshaldj, I just call it like it is.
If you don’t vote in such a manner as to remove
BO from office you are an idiot. Simple as that.
And I, 429CJ, need to remember that when you hit ‘post’ it takes a minute or two to actually ‘post’.
:-)
This is exactly why I left the Liberterian Party. The Party always had the excuse “we pull as many voters from Democrats as Republicans”, but it was always a lie.
I got tired of enabling big government leftists by keeping much better candidates from winning.
The real issue, though, is getting new media. The issue is not so much the parties as the MSM.
Why would libertarians vote for a libertarian for President, someone who cannot win, and potentially hand Obama a second term, the anathema to all their beliefs?
Yes, It was L.Neil’s policy. It sounded good. It did not work. The big problem with Liberterians is that they thought the problem was political. It was not. It was and is the MSM.
Because, they are either children or idiots.
One or the other.
Libertarians rose to defeat John Thune in SD in 2002, and he rebounded in 2004. How does Johnson continue to serve all these years considering his health?
libertarians tend to be rather cluless about tactics to win the war. instead they claim losing a battle as a victory.
this is a politico article, it is by design intended to screw with the minds of the weak and give sufferage to fools.
This should be directed in the DUmmy forum and over at the comment section of huff post. It should be intended to have the weak minds of the left to abandon obama for the same useful idiot principles.
As do I.
OR.... you are just a typical third-party member who views Romney as your race opponent and you have no qualms about using lies, distortions and bullying to gain ground in a political race. I noticed you called in buddies to gang up on the little uppity poster who dared to post facts about Romney.
Regarding your smearing me as a "pimp", thank you for proving my point so well for me.

By the way, are Jay and Jordan Sekulow "pimps", also? This was way back in January....
“In order for conservatives to make the changes in Washington that we have been fighting for, we must first defeat President Obama and have a leader with a proven record of getting things done,” said Jay Sekulow. “Mitt Romney is the one candidate who can take his pro-growth message to the American people and defeat President Obama. Throughout his life, he has proven that he will not back down from difficult situations – fixing the mess that President Obama has left will not be easy.”
“Mitt Romney’s record as governor and vision for our country is one that conservatives should be proud to support,” said Jordan Sekulow. “He cut taxes, balanced budgets, and defended both traditional marriage and life in a politically difficult environment. Mitt Romney’s ability to defeat President Obama and enact conservative change is why I support him and so many conservatives are backing his campaign.”

You need some new material, Tamz. You could be typing this post 5 years ago, it’s the same old-time malarkey from the Willardbot peanut gallery. Willard was exposed years ago, and pulling this revisionist history crap on his record ain’t gonna cut it, hun. Try being intellectually honest and state that you’re pulling for the Socialist to beat the Communist. Is it that hard ?
Folks, stop wasting your time on fieldmarshaldj.
He is either a child or an idiot. Since I cannot see a picture of him (or her) I am just going to assume she or he is an idiot.

DAMN That was SO GOOD, that it needed to be said TWICE!!!!
You called in even MORE buddies, I’m flattered. And I noticed you keep dodging the facts and sources in my posts and consistently reply with just insults and accusations.
Just your insults in this post to me, you accuse me of being intellectually dishonest and pulling revisionist history when I’m posting items such as the Club for Growth analysis of Romney’s history.
The Club for Growth is lying? Are Jay and Jordan Sekulow lying? You never answered this, either, are the Sekulows “pimps”? Or am I just a “pimp” because I posted their quote?
What do you think happened all the way up to and through the convention? People worked that much harder and more. But it's rather difficult to get anywhere when they commit assault and intimidation throughout the state conventions, and then break or ignore, then rewrite, the rules at National in order to crush your opposition to the anointed nominee.
Notice that he did not say that Romney is a conservative.
You’ve got to understand the difference between the battle and the war. Some battles aren’t that bad to lose. I’d prefer a good republican in the White House, but none ran. So this is what we’ve got, 2 guys with very similar mindsets, 2 guys that will continue the run away spending, 2 guys where the only noticeable difference is the letter after their name, 2 guys that quite simply don’t deserve my vote.
great posting discostu...
you and SOL could be twins ???
No you name called. And no you didn’t hurt my tender feeling, all you did was prove you have no facts on your side. Which I already knew, and apparently so do you which is why you feel a need to run to ad hominems. No reason for your ignorance to hurt my feelings, if anybody should be hurt it’s you, the one that just advertised to everybody that you know nothing.
