since not all, but most (I know, all generalizations are wrong, including this one) Libs are just Republicans who smoke pot, if I talk them out of voting Lib, they're likely to revert back to Repug.

But I'll keep working on Independents.

1. No shame in voting Libertarian
Badnarik has no shot, but I think he takes more votes from Bush than Kerry. For Republicans who are smart enough to realize Bush's failures, I would totally encourage them to vote for Badnarik if they can't stomach voting Democrat.

2. I thought they were mostly Free Market capitalists.
They sure are dang conservative, mostly.

Scads of them still fighting the cold war, too.

3. I know the feeling
I was married to one once.. BUT after he realized the need for social programs due to a chronic illness in the family he decided that maybe he was a Democrat afterall!! LOL

Thats the key, until reality hits some folks just can't find the empathy zone.

4. Never talk them out of voting Libertarian!
Ever! That's like talking a alcoholic out of AA. They're at least not causing anyone trouble where they are.
