Maybe it is time for the Republicans to get in line and support someone out of obligation and that they don’t want the vote split?
My vote does not belong the anyone but me and I am not responsible for the results of the election, only how I spend my vote.
‘Yes, Lord, I voted for the lesser of two evils that I detested instead of voting for the candidate I thought was best.’
You’re using that straw man argument on the wrong guy. My beef is that the libertarian hasn’t even sought out the Republican nod, nor demonstrated what is wrong with the Republican candidate. He explicitly stated he didn’t seek their endorsement, so why are you saying that the Republicans should get in line to support him?
Frankly, the Republicans compromise their beliefs too often. But where there is a distinction between the Republicans and the Libertarians, I usually side with Republicans:
Abortion (There’s a pro-life streak among philosophical libertarians, but most such libertarians aren’t in the LP.)
Drugs
The Iraq war.
Immigration (As angry as many conservatives are at McCain, the LP is open borders.)
Pornography
Prostitution
