Why this arrogant baseline assumption that Libertarian candidates 'steal' votes from the GOP??

Possibly because Libertarians take a consistent small gov't position and the GOP claims to be the party of small gov't.

That and this "CONSERVATIVE" board is full of libertarian posters. Listen I switched from the Democratic party to the Green party after the Democrats failure to appeal to my extreme leftist position and I told all my Democratic friends to do the same and sent them the link to the Green party website. I suggest all of you other discouraged Democrats do the same with your friends. In 2004 lets stand on PRINCIPLE not common sense!

Don't flame me if you don't understand the humor in what I've written. Just accept it as humor and move on.

If the Republicans had cut the rate of federal government growth, maybe the Libertarians and/or a few more conservatives would have voted for Thune. The fact is that the rate of federal spending has increased in the 2001-2002 period. If the Republicans would defund the Left, at least 100 billion could be cut from the budget.
