MG;
I do have to take exception with a couple of your statements:
A) For Libertarians who aren't "into guns".. Friend, nobody has to be "into guns"..but any Libertarian or anyone worth calling American, should unflinchingly be in favor of the Bill of Rights, which includes the 2nd article.
B) Einstein's supposed statement about common sense being a collection of prejudices gained by age eighteen. Likely if it is a quote from Einstein, it is totally out of context. In any case what most of us are talking about is EXPERIENCE as well as EMPIRICAL OBSERVATION gained over decades. I suppose we could use those terms here but most simply condense the thought to "common sense".
If you are a Libertarian, I would estimate that you keep most of your company with a batch of Democrats. It goes without saying to most of us, that Libertarians as a strong rule are usually conservative. People who revere the Constitution and do not believe as Democrats do, that it is a "living,breathing document"...that is one which is easily bent or broken by an activist court.
Quite frankly, I don't think the third party voters changed the presidential election. There are enough yellow dogs, racists and brain dead to have elected the misfit in without any 3rd party help.
However, a look at the race in Minnesota, between Coleman and that certified nutcase, Al Franken..with 1% left they are both at 42%...with a 3rd party ego trip guy taking 15%..
