Or not voting at all, which, as I'd said, is a growing orientation of Libertarian voters. Which isn't to mention the following: if one were truly individually freedom-oriented, why wouldn't they - if, for whatever reason they liked a candidate - vote for Bush or Kerry, for that matter? Or write their own name in, if the fancy struck them?

That's an interesting point that I've heard debated before. If the Libertarians aren't interested in participating in statism and are individually freedom-oriented persons, why bother participating in the electoral process at all? Good point. Thanks for reminding me of that.

If this is true then how can the LP ever expect to become a viable third party? Or expect it's ranks to swell. A high vote count could be one way of impressing new recruits to the party as they would feel the party is growing and their vote, efforts, and donations would not be wasted. Does the LP need the cob webs cleaned out?
