So Judas could be said to be the Libertarian of his day?

Naw, Judas would be more like a Homeland Security agent.

The third-party ethic got us Bill Clinton. It is possible to so love a losing ideology that you get what is worst for your country. I will admit that before I became a serious conservative, I was enough of an idiot to vote for Perot (before I came to my senses and became a neoconservative.) The idea that because the GOP is against abortion and against pot will turn too many votes that we need to ensure the security of America. If Libertarians had voted for W because he was the best realistic choice, we might have had a decisive 2000 vote rather than the (completely legal but thorn in our side) arguable victory that today allows Teddy-Bill-Hill to whine about "selected not elected."
