Screw you, America - once again you've failed to vote a single Libertarian to Congress. Once again you've screwed us all over by voting for Republicans and Democrats. I hate you, you mother f**king retards! You go to hell, you go the hell and you die!
Oh, and please vote Libertarian in 2008.
When the Libertarian Party stops being batsh**t crazy...then it will find office. (As I think you also believe)
They should stop bothering to run Presidential candidates and focus on races they can win, such as in Arizona and New Hampshire, where they might be able to snag a couple of seats in the state legislature and work their way up.
I agree with you. The problem with most third parties in the U.S. is that they try to build from the top down, rather than the bottom up. But I think the other problem with the Libertarians is that most voters just don't agree with enough of their policies. Like me, they see the wisdom in the libertarian outlook on some matters but not on others. They might get more votes if they moderated their views on some issues, but I expect they'd be accused of selling out by many of their current supporters if they did so.
The big problem I have with full-bore libertarianism is the almost naively touching faith they have in the goodness of mankind and the infallibility of the free-market system.
