"When will these Raving Loonytarians wake up and get a grip on reality?!"

As a Libertarian who voted Republican, just what reality would you like me to wake up to? That Republicans like you and Mr. Medved are rude and clueless?

Imagine if a third--only one third!--of Kurt Evans' voters had thought seriously enough about the importance of the election to cast their votes for Republican Thune. Would the fact that the Libertarian received 2,000 votes instead of 3,000 have detracted in any way from the "success" or impact of his campaign--or somehow compromised its metaphysical meaning? Yet the shift of that thousand votes to a real, grown-up, candidate could have altered U.S. political history.

Well, for starters.... how about this reality that Michael Medved makes abundantly clear. I respect a lot of the small government positions of the "so called" libertarian philosophy. But when they cost this country a senate seat at a crucial time in history, that ticks me off. Especially as a Coleman supporter in Minnesota who fought like heck to get our guy squeaking in, I know what those poor Thune supporters must feel like in SD....

If 528 losertarians had done the responsible thing like you did, America would be in better shape right now....
