If Libertarians are so powerful as to give an election away, if Republicans need us so much, perhaps a more fruitful tactic would be trying to find common ground, instead of insulting us and then wondering why we don't want to hang with y'all.
Every day on FR other than the day after an election:
"Ha! Libertarians! You clowns can't muster up more than 2% of any vote! What a joke of a party!"
FR after the 2006 election:
"You a-hole Libertarians cost us the election!"
Either we're so few we can be marginalized, or we're so many we can turn the tide of elections nation-wide. Which is it, Libertarian bashers? Because it can't be both. What a bunch of idiots.

It's the same logic that says Bush is both a retard and a criminal mastermind.

They remind me of the joke about the lawyer defending a client who was being sued for damaging a rental car:
First, we will prove that my client never touched this car,
Then, we will prove that this car was already damaged when my client drove it off the lot.
Finally, we will prove that this car was in perfect condition when my client returned it.

The really funny thing is when they argue (either implicitly or openly) that the Republicans lose because the Libertarians had the effrontery to run a candidate.
Well, OK, let's stipulate that the Republicans would win more often if the Libertarians didn't run candidates. They would also win more often if the Democrats didn't run candidates, and to ask for the former is as absurd as to ask for the latter.
To paraphrase somebody or other, the Republicans' job is to win in the political climate they have, not the political climate they wish they had.
