Okay. You asked (rhetorically) why Republicans consider Libertarians a threat, dispite believing that they are so wrong. I brought up the Green Party and what they "did to the equitable supporter of their ideology in 2000" figuring you would see the connection. I probably could have worded it better.

The Green Party cost the Democratic Party the presidential election in 2000. What was the margin, about 550 Votes here in Florida? That's a small fraction of what they drained from the Democrats here. Republican's don’t want a split off from ether the Christian right or the Libertarians to have the same effect on us in 2004. I can't speak for all Republicans, but that's why I personally spend time attacking Libertarians when I think that they're mistaken.

So I guess people who vote their position, their concience are wrong in doing so?? Why not just ban all political partys except the Republican Party and the Democratic Party??

We have free elections "AS LONG AS YOU VOTE FOR ONE OF THE TWO OFFICIALLY APPROVED PARTYS"? Really neat and a big reason why I am resistant to voting for either one.

Did you ever think that the problem is with the Demos and Repo Partys?? No, don't consider that. A reality check might cause you to change your slavish commitment to whichever party of the ruling Duolpoly is your chosen savior.

If you have a problem with getting votes because of the 1%ers then I think you need to check yourself and your party. Blaming any third party for your party's poor showing in the elections is nothing more than a denial of reality. Seek help.

Note: make a law that Requires all people to vote and then offer them just one/two choices. They do that in other nations and it gives the appearance of total participation and approval by the voters. Of course it is just an appearance.

I will not give up my right to choose who I will vote for when it does not meet your approval. Ask others what they think about that idea.

SO WHAT?

The DEMOs lost the election, even though they tried to steal it, because they were not liked by the voters. Same thing applies to any close election lost by the REPOs. Get used to losing elections when you lose the confidence of the voters.

When MILLIONS of votes are casted and you, or the the DEMOs, lose by this number then you need to work on Changing your platform or nominees. This is very simple to see. What IF I came on here and said that Libertarians or Greens or Reform lost because REPOs or DEMOs were running in the election?? You would see it for what it is, sour grapes.

IF ALL partys would limit their political activities to Constitutional matters instead of parceling out moneys taken from the taxpayer or printed by the Fed(where inflation really comes from) then who got elected would not be a matter of life or death as it seems to have become.

Does not it seem that whoever gets elected anymore has become a power unto themselves and any old rag called our Constitution that may limit those powers be damned.

Take care and be well,

Yeah, sure you don't want that. Then keep on making libertarian friends as you are want to do with your tirade against libertarians for their perceived threat to REPO electoral aspirations. Kinda like you want me to say,

"I voted Republican because I was called names and threatened repeatedly by those very Republicans(In Name Only, IMO) I now vote for."

I tell you,

"You are a greater threat to LIBERTY than any libertarian would ever be sir with that attitude."

But, don't believe me sir, ask others what they think about that attitude.
