Exactly. Even if I *were* inclined to vote for a Libertarian candidate (which, as a Neo-Ciceronian, I wouldn't be), I would not do so because not only is it a wasted vote, but it is also a POSITIVE vote for the full, both-barrels-for-socialism Democrat candidate. Frankly, the best thing that can happen in an election under the system we currently have is for the Libertarians (and other pissant little pseudo-conservative parties) to fail to even get ballot access.
Notice - the greatest actual successes that libertarians have achieved (and they have many things going for them, ideologically speaking, even though I rag them hard) is when they have worked THROUGH the Republican Party. Maybe they need to take a clue from this, and help conservatives take back the Party for smaller government, and help kick the big-gubmint RINOs out?
first get rid of the democrats and then we can have a 2 party system of republicans vs libertarians
