The Greens and the Libertarians KNOW they are just spoilers, and KNOW they biggest achioevements usually just help throw an election to the Dims.

We need a money trail investigation that demonstrates Dim backers and donations to the Greens and the Libertarians. They should be exposed for what that are - Dims hiding behind other parties labels. They should always be called out in GOP campaigns for the frauds they are - they KNOW they can’t win.

Your post makes absolutely NO sense.

Precisely what I told my mother today. Follow the money ... always.

Greens are hard leftists, which means that if they didn't vote Green, they would vote for Democrats, so if anything, they help Republicans.

Libertarian voters are about evenly split. Those who are libertarian for social issues would otherwise vote Democrat, those who a libertarian for fiscal issues would otherwise vote Republican. So their effect on elections is probably neutral.

Plus, there's the fact that unless a person is a complete idiot, he knows that neither party will win. This means that the vast majority of people who vote libertarian or green are people who would otherwise not vote at all and are just using them as a "none of the above" vote. In short, I don't buy into the "spoiler" theory of ineffectual third parties.
