Personally, I think Libertarians should be shot into the cig pack and tossed out the car window.

They do nothing but spoil elections and try to hijack this conservative forum.

They never get past 1/2 of 1% of the vote. Eff em.

They should form their own forum.

Eff you

When you start yours, you can set the rules. You don't get a say on this one.

If conservatives are willing to vote for Republican candidates solely on the condition that they are in some slight measure better than the Democrats, what motive are Republican politicians going to have to try to be anything other than Democrat-lite?

In all the instances I know of where Libertarians have acted as spoilers, it's been because the Republican has failed to act like a conservative. Perhaps if Republicans would start actively opposing Democrats' sociofascist programs, people who would either vote Libertarian or sit on the sidelines might vote for them.

In 1996, I voted for Harry Browne. Not because I wanted Clinton to win (though his opponent was so feeble it was inevitable), but rather because his opponent had completely failed to go on record supporting the Second Amendment, had earlier in fact sold out his party on gun control, and promised to further erode Fourth Amendment protections in the name of the War on Drugs.

I wish Republicans would realize that Democrat-lite is a lousy platform. If a Democrat proposal is a bad one, it must be opposed completely. Going along with it, but foot-dragging, merely sets the Republicans up for blame when the program fails.
