Because in the last election they only got 0.36 percent of the vote and polls show no improvement.
If you can not see that the amount of covererage was quite close to the vote % they got, then you are missing half the point.
Have you seen super size me? It displays the path of the fools that eat nothing but junk food. Sure, we are free to do so, but the problem is that when we are dealing with the government, we are not just consuming things ourselves. We are consuming the life energy of others.
The Libertarians merely want to remove the yoke of big government from themselves and their fellow Liberty loving Americans. If you have a problem with a freedom fighter, you have a problem with freedom. (heck, Bush coulda said that one!!!)
So back off the LP no matter how small or large their vote count was.
BTW - Is the mention of the statisitc your way of saying you would jump on the LP.org bandwagon after fifty percent of America did? AND what is your take on the philosophy, not the voter record of America in the past.
THAT is the issue you should address.
