I have seen no evidence that Libertarians understand the Constitution at all.
There is a huge difference in these candidates.
May I suggest reading some books on the subject, books by Rothbard, Hayek or Thomas Sowell might be a good starting point.

Heh heh. As I see it, libertarians hide behind the constitution as they push their pro-dope agenda.
When reminded that marijuana laws and issues with no-knock raids are local and state issues, they call you a nanny-stater and generally make fools of themseelves as they align themselves with Ron Paul, Barney Frank and other such losers.
Oh... You are one of those... Ok, I will be sure to use small words then.
Both Romney and Obama have clear records of thinking government is the cure for any particular problem. This is false. 5000+ years of human history proves this out time and again.
Libertarians think that whole Article 1 Section 8 thing isn't being adhered to. Neither is that whole Bill of Rights thing. They are pretty much the ONLY group talking about paring back our collective State and Federal governments to fit back within those limits...
Still with me? A few of those words have more than three vowels in them so I want to be sure your eyes haven't glazed over in incomprehension. Incomprehension; means you don't understand.
Obama wants more gun control. Romney has passed more gun control than Obama and thought it was a "good thing".
Obama wants more government spending. Romney wants to restructure government taxation so they can keep spending.
Obama wants more government control over certain areas of your life. Romney wants control over other areas of your life.
Both apparently think government is the answer to producing more private sector jobs despite the fact that this is never the case. Unless you think Solyndra and Konarka Technologies are examples of "winning" companies.
A real contrast would be someone who wanted to repeal all gun laws that infringe on mere possession and carry of any armament.
A real contrast would be someone who not only doesn't want government subsidies going to businesses, they don't want the government engaging in ANY activity that falls outside of Art 1 Sec 8 or that is expressly prohibited by the Bill of Rights.
A real contrast would be someone who doesn't want to make "government work right"... A real contrast would be someone who wants to make government do the absolute letter of what it is supposed to do and not one jot more...
Of course, that isn't what you are interested in. You are stuck in a "Big Two Party"/"Us versus Them" mindset and anything that falls outside that isn't worth consideration.
Consideration; means to think about it.
Tough job for you... I know. But give it a try some time.
