If you are considering voting for the Libertarian candidate in any Senate election, please send me your name and address so I can track you down and drown you. |

I'm a libertarian. I'm voting straight R. I will continue to vote straight R until the libertarian party has enough support to win elections (within reason. If it was between Hilary and Christie, I would just drink on election day). I don't support the drowning of libertarians that don't vote straight R.

It's just political rhetoric, motivated by the frustration of vote splitting candidates giving the election to the Dems.
TL;DR My panties aren't bunched. |

I see skelator is still trying to remain relevant. How many times has she bemoaned liberals for saying stupid shit like that?

Being drowned by Ann Coulter? I can think of worse ways to spend a day.

Come on Ann, let's fuck 'em right in the pussies.
ETA: I'm actually a Libertarian(except on foreign policy) but it's crazy to vote on principle while the world burns. Pick the lesser of two evils, ffs. Our guy usually has no chance and you are wasting a much needed vote. Might as well be voting Dem, which takes a special kind of dumb ass. Think of it as a realist thought experiment. You have two boxes. Box 1 says: Republicans Win!!! Box 2 says: Democrats Win OR Republicans Win!!! Why the fuck are you picking box 2? |

Don't we already have a Page 1 "All Libertarians must vote Republican" thread?

How will libertarians get support if you continue to vote straight R? If more Libertarians are put in to local and municipal postings and people don't see the world burn, the party may well gain acceptance. It is a process that will take awhile. Right now it's not realistic in a major election, unless you want to say "I didn't vote for either of 'em. Bob Barr woulda been great!" |

It is interesting... Reading the article... They blame Republicans for an awful, awful lot...
It is almost like they want to blame Republicans for the damage that Obama has done... Republicans *have* held an insignificant "majority" in the House. But Democrats have held the Senate, and Democrats have held the White House... The truth... With the miniscule majority in the House, Republicans have shut-down Obama's government, and have prevented any *national* gun-bans from moving-forward. Yes, the slim majority of Republicans *have* accomplished a great deal, considering the circumstances... I don't want to hurt any sit-on-the-sidelines-and-complain so-called "libertarians." But between the Republicans and the Democrats... Democrats are the ones promoting restrictions to gun rights, and nationalized health care... On a wholesale party basis... |

Ann Coulter wants the address of Chris Christy so she can stick her tongue up his ass some more.

Apparently math is hard for her.
She should be far more worried about all the Republicans that didn't bother to vote at all. |
|
Hyperbole, It's part of what she's known for.
Personally, I will try to promote my interests during the primary season, hopefully to influence as many candidates as possible to move in my direction. I will vote/work/contribute in the primary for the candidate that most closely reflects my views. In the General election, I will vote for the most conservative (or libertarian) candidate that has a realistic shot at winning-- hopefully my candidate, but if not, then I won't pick up my ball, go home, and sulk. Anything else is handing the election to a candidate that very likely reflects your views far less than you would be happy with should they win. |

Oh please if she were a liberal saying this shit about conservatives, you people would be losing your fucking minds. But its just a joke now so no biggy.

It wasn't Libertarians that kept the GOP from wining in 2012. It was the GOP. Republicans are fond of blaming Libertarians for their woes, but the facts just don't bear this up. After the last presidential election, there was a breakdown of all the swing states and even if every vote that went to the Libertarian candidate was added to the Republicans (which is stupid to assume since a lot of Libertarians come from the liberal side, not the conservative side) it wouldn't have changed the outcome a bit. The GOP is its own worst enemy. They will keep losing until they realize that and change their ways. Blaming Libertarians is just as stupid as the morons that blame murders on guns. |

Dear Anne,
If you want libertarians to vote for Republicans, how about giving libertarians some reason to do so besides, "Oh no, Democrats!". If Republicans started including libertarian principles in their campaign strategies - principles that used to be Republican, such as small government - maybe libertarians would feel able to vote for Republicans without feeling dirty for doing so... |

Sure, I will take political advice from a republican who once dated Andrew Stein.
