Why should they be elected when they are supposed to represent personal liberty and business here at home??? If voting Libertarian brings a Republican defeat... maybe they should re-assess their policies.

While your post sounds principled, it really is ignorance. History proves that it doesn't work. In the meantime the country is damaged at a faster rate, gives less time for correction, our standing in the world as a firewall against tyrants is damaged, we are becoming more and more in financial bondage to China.
Many voted for Obama because of Bush, and because McCain is a Rhino, please, HOW HAS THAT WORKED OUT FOR THE NATION??? Romney has the business experience to help, and he has family values, he is likely the most committed to a conservative faith than any president in recent history. I will vote for a man that shares my values, though not my doctrines, over a "Christian" that shares little to none of my values everytime. And always over a third party loser that has not possibility of really accomplishing anything.
