Why don't you tell all the (R)s out there to vote libertarian, we would still beat the democrats and we might just get a few principled people elected in the process.

I don't mean to make light of this subject, it's just that the republicans are not offering the best candidates all the time and reasonable and logical people should know that. It's time that the american electorate take a good look at all the candidates up for election and vote for the best one regardless of party label.

Because ALL Republicans will NEVER vote for a party, whose platform resembles that of the GREENIES , whose candidates want things that would harm America, and who can't get elected without running under GOP letters.

In case you hadn't figured it out, please allow me to explain it to you. There are vastly more GOPers, than Libertarians. Libertarian candidates spit on people, say peculiar / outrageous things, and tempt the very young, ill informed, gullible, political naifs and ONLY act as spoilers, in close races. There are NO compelling reasons for a Republican to vote Libertarain. OTOH, since Republicans ( from whence the only GOOD / VALID positions, that the LP / Libertarians espouse, were puloined from REPUBLICANS ) can win and get some things, which all of us claim to want, in common, get elected, them it is Libertarians, who need to vote for Republicans and help US get rid of damned Dems. This isn't a game, this isn't a popularity contest, and this , most assuredly IS something that is of the essence, to make ALL of our lives and our country better.

Have you ever thought that maybe the American public did look at the third party candidates and voted for others?
