That's a wonderful dream. I tend to agree with most Libertarian viewpoints. However a vote for a Libertarian is actually going to translate as a vote for a Democrat. You see a person who decides to vote Libertarian is most likely going to be a Republican as they respect most Libertarian viewpoints (like me). There’s only a small chance that a Democrat will vote Libertarian as they would loose out on most unlimited social (open coffers) programs and other such governmental mismanaged nonsense. And since we unfortunately have a two party system and there really no chance for a Libertarian to win, all you’ve done is thrown away a vote that would have normally gone to a Republican. It’s a shame, but it’s the truth. That’s why I vote for the lesser of the TWO evils.
