Actions have reactions, and perhaps we can get the Republican organization to react. When we vote for the "spoiler" candidate, and he gets only 2% of the vote, but that was the margin of loss for the Republican candidate, that Republican politician lost precisely because he did not represent the constituency. Fear of losing should be his greatest fear. Continuing to make winners out of these guys is a mistake. There will be another election. Republicans will still want to win that one, even if they don't have an incumbent.

The Socialist Party never won any serious elections, but the Democratic Party adopted much of their agenda. The question I have is will the Republican organization adopt principles of liberty and the Constitution to get our votes, or will they continue down their current path of abandoning these concepts to compete for Democratic voters?

Exactly my hope-that we can get the Republicans to adopt the constitution (and thusly libertarian principles)and it then will not matter if the Libertarian Party ever wins an election. And if being a spoiler in a few elections makes that happen, all to the good.

If they do not adopt the constitution, then they will end up merging with the Democrats and it will be the DemoPublicans vs the Libertarians as our two parties. I want to be a Libertarian then.
