I hate the Libertarians. They gave Jim Doyle here in WI the governorship on a silver platter.

A bunch of fringe fanatic losers. They'll never get more than .0000000000000000000000000000000001 of the vote.

I have to ask: If they never get more than .0000000000000000000000000000000001% of the vote, how did they give Jim Doyle the governorship of Wisconsin on a silver platter? If you're going to bash the LP, you can at least avoid contradicting yourself. Either A) they always garner a laughably small portion of the vote, or B) they sometimes soak up a portion just large enough to "give" elections to the Democrats. Pick one and stick with it.

As for myself, which to fully support, if either, is the perfect quandary, and I've bounced back and forth countless times. For all their rhetoric, the GOP by and large does squat to advance liberty and restore the Constitution, and often retards both, but the LP never gets the oppurtunity. What's a conscientious socialist-hating, liberty-loving Constitutionalist to do?

I have yet to decide.

They cost Thune the Senate seat in SD, even when their candidate backed out and said support Thune, they still cast 3000 votes for him. Thune lost by a little over 500 votes.

They act as SPOILERS and since you aren't smart enough to firgure that out, then just pull the lever for President Bush and don't even attempt to " think " about what you should you. ;^)

Don't vote socialist (dem), or socialist-lite (republican).
Sadly, the only way to make your voice heard is to cause a little PAIN for the GOP, and let them know that you do not support their policies of ENDLESS COMPROMISE with the left.

Remind me again, how many spending bills has Bush vetoes?
How has NON-defense spending gone up 9% annually under a GOP house, senate, and White House?

Could someone explain what happened to fiscal conservatism?
