Re: Be Libertarian with me:
Third parties, ALWAYS, cause the opposite effect in elections than they claim to desire. The net result of third parties history is: They help to elect the worse candidates to high office and the country is damaged. They ruin the careers of these candidates themselves!!!
Start with Teddy Roosevelt, completely ruined his credibility, and elected his arch enemy to office. Then more recently we have Pat Buchanan and Ross Perot, and Ralph Nader, who all help elect leftist presidents, senators and Representatives, that have damaged the country. The ever heard of Howard Phillips??? Bright political up and comer, third party run destroyed his career.
Third party, seems like a good thing on principle, but in reality it has NEVER proved to accomplish the goals of those principles.
Much better to work in the grassroots leadership in primaries where is in not so difficult to get good desirable candidates, the Tea Party should not be weary in well doing and continue, it is a marathon, not a dash!!!!
