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.
