Not " false " at all. Look up the numbers of votes cast, for the LP, over the past three cycles.

Over 1 million people voted for at least 1 Libertarian candidate in the 2000 election cycle. That's the most people ever to vote for Libertarians. The LP ran over 1400 candidates nationwide in the 2000 election cycle. That's the most LP candidates that have ever run simultaneously. In 2000 the number of registered Libertarians was roughly 265,000, up from around 100,000 four years earlier.

I looked up the numbers. You didn't.

" Non sequitur " ? Hardly ! If, as many FR Libertraians claim, they don't agree with many LP platform stances, but then say that they are voting for the Libertarian " on proncile ", that IS hypocritic ; the candidate doesn't share their oh so vaunted principles at all. So, where is the " principled vote in that ?

Many Libertarians disagree with portions of the LP platform but vote Libertarian on principle. This is hypocritical how?

How were you able to determine that the candidate doesn't share their principles at all?

It's similar to saying that 1 + 1 = 3 . Saying that over and over and OVER agian, doesn't make it true.

It is in no way similar. Your analogy is unrelated.

No wonder Libertarians here, are incapable of rational debate . I said PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE for the last three cycles, and how many votes they got ( hint , hint, the numbers got lower , with each year ) ; and you're arguing about the number of votes, for ALL LP candidates, for the 2000 election. Apples and oranges. Name three elected Libertarian governors, three mayors ( of major cities ) , three Representatives, and three Senators. You can't ! You can't even name one ! Oh, and Ron Paul does NOT count for anything ; he ran as a REPUBLICAN .

Oh my, you people keep claiming that those who vote for Republicans don't vote with principles intact, because none of their candidates do the right thing ; not ever. Well, then it is safe to say ( and more factual ! ) , to say that Libertarians, who supposedly vote their " principles " , in voting for a candidate / party patform, that they don't agree with , on many, many issues , are hypocrites and unprincipled. Pity, that you don't understand logically stated refutation. You can't have it both ways .

No, my analogy works well. A lie is a lie is a lie is a lie.
