Libertarians are. 0.3 percent of the vote worth.
Someone who votes for their beliefs, or someone who blindly follows "the winning team" in order to belong?
I opined earlier in this thread that you should vote your conscience. Just don't expect to be taken seriously when you whine and cry here about not getting what you want from politics and politicians when you don't vote for them and don't work to help them win.
The concept is a simple one: Vote for the right party, and your concerns are usually heard and addressed. Vote for the wrong party, and they usually are not.
If You spent any time studying politics besides the 7 days (that's a week) before a major election, you would know.
I'm flattered that you capitalized your reference to me. I get that a lot ;)
The fact that some Libertarians are "threatening" to vote for the Rat, the Green, or an equally irrelevant third party gives a good insight into their whiny mindset.
First grade reading level.
There are reading classes you can take to overcome that. I recommend you look into taking some.
I am not interested in anyone doing what I tell them to do.
And if your guys keep doing stupid stuff in public, we won't, I assure you.
I am interested in freely exercising my right to vote for the candidate of MY CHOICE, without people accusing me of treason to thier particular political party.
But I thought you said you weren't "interested in anyone doing what I tell them to do". Nobody's accusing you and the Libertarians of treason; just of constantly exhibiting idiocy and a "sour grapes" attitude found more often on a kindergarten playground than in the adult world.
Sometimes it's not about "being on the winning team". Would You show pride in belonging to the Nazi party ...
Godwin invoked. I win, you lose.
There is a principle of ethics called "right and wrong".
And there is a principle of politics called "people don't vote for kooks." If you act like or make public statments like a kook, nobody votes for you.
But You still think it's more important to be part of the "Winning Team", even if atrocity is it's platform.
"Atrocity?" What sort of "atrocities" do you see in the Republican platform? Refusing to vote for or support kooks? Not drinking colloidal silver and turning ourselves blue?
(strela) If it becomes necessary to turn to revolution to "put America back on track," who do you want in the foxhole with you; a Republican or a Democrat?
Neither one. I'll be shooting at both ...
Thanks for the admission that you consider murder to be a valid option when somebody says something you disagree with.
Ohhhhh, I get it now ... some law enforcement agency took away your Wal Mart rifle, and now you're mad about it. Domestic violence? Terroristic threats? C'mon, give - what was the reason?
You should know the Libertarian view by now.
Yes, I do. That's why we all laugh at it when we see it.
You are both one and the same.
If you mean that my side wins elections and yours does not, then you are correct.
... until Republicans start acting like true conservatives, and respecting the constitution and the bill of rights, (starting with the voiding of all gun law) I continue to see no difference.
I'm waiting for you to post a public heartcry advocating private ownership of nuclear weapons now. Go ahead, you know you want to. But be aware that we'll just laugh at you and your party again, and you are helpless to prevent it.
Name calling and inuendo doesn't change the facts.
If Republicans get control of congress, (and I believe they will) NOTHING WILL CHANGE.
Life and politics will go on as usual.
This may be the Republican party's last chance to make a difference, and I will bet You they blow it.
Like I said before, I am giving them a chance in Missouri, even if it is just my one vote.
I won't do it again.
Instead, I will continue to argue, cajole, post, and exercise my freedom of speech to convince others that the major parties are a lost cause.
I will convince voters, one at a time if necessary, to vote for an alternative, like the Libertarian party, and make a statement, if not an immeadiate difference.
Ten years down the road, maybe twenty, we will be a major pary.
Then we will do what should have been done years ago.
Make America Free again.
