"Not a single one of them would ever vote Republican."

This makes perfect sense!  Okay, here it is:

Libertarians want to deregulate just about everything, right?  And they want smaller government, too.  Well, Republicans support deregulation and smaller government (Well, at least in theory.  I think that conservatives -- as opposed to neocons -- realize that Bush Jr. was a terrible mistake for their goals).  What's more, it's always Democrats who want more regulation and bigger government.  Right?  Sure!

Therefore Libertarians and Republicans are natural allies, and both are natural enemies of Democrats.

So why would Libertarians vote Democratic rather than for a conservative Republican, even one like McCain who supports at least some of their objectives?

Well, I figured it out.  As soon as I saw the KenTX had proffered this seemingly ridiculous idea, it hit me: If Ken says it then it absolutely is ridiculous, and that's why it must be true!  Just look at their current "leader", Ron Paul.  This guy is absolutely looney tunes, right?  And to support this nut for the Presidency, you've got to be nuts too, right?  Therefore, since Ron Paul's supporters are nuts, they would vote Democratic instead of Republican if Ron Paul didn't run.

See?

Sometimes it takes a nut like KenTX to help us understand other nuts.  Thanks, Ken!
