Stop whining Republicans. Libertarians won't be your downfall. Your move to the Left will be your downfall.

Republicans may be the cause of their own downfall. They are facing the biggest spending incumbent in all of history. You would think the republicans would just nominate a somebody who represents the opposite. But what do they put forth as their alternative to Obama? A team whose budget proposal also doesn't make any cuts and doesn't balance the budget for 3 decades. This is embarassing for republicans.

That is being straightened out. Nobody is whining. Anyone who votes for a third party candidate is a stupid sob. I invite a political discussion between libritarians and republicans, but if you vote for johnson in THIS election, YOU are destroying any chance of that debate, much less future elections from ever taking place.

You really believe that no elections will take place if Obama gets re-elected? There really isn't anything to discuss then.

The problem is the republican party doesn't want that debate. Now more than ever, the power in the republican party is centered at the top. Even if normal american republicans are open to libertarian ideas, the party leaders at the top are only interested in maintaining their power. We saw evidence of this at the RNC when they passed laws to give the party insides sole power over who becomes a national delegate, even reserving the right to replace duly elected delagetes with their own picks.

Quite frankly, there is only one reason for this. To disempower the growing number of Ron Paul delegates in the republican party

Libertarian Vote in New Hampshire Could Swing Electoral College to Obama

Mitt Romney is now neck and neck with Obama in New Hampshire, a stunning feat considering the former governor was trailing the president by 15 points at the end of September. But some independent voters who say they would vote for Romney if just he and Obama were on the ballot, are instead voting for Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson. These swing voters are giving the president a potential advantage in November.

A Suffolk University Political Research Center poll released Monday shows Romney and Obama tied with 47 percent of the vote each in New Hampshire.
