Libertarian? Since When Is That An Option?

Are people so sick of democrats and republicans that they're ready for 4 years of complete and total anarchy? You know there's one thing to be said about republicans, they make decisions (albeit misguided ones) that they usually stand behind unless they find it's not in their best interest or attractive to their constituency, and are then subject to all kinds of hypocrisies. (Enter Larry Craig, the closeted, self hating, bathroom cruiser) But either way, they have a set of beliefs that they think are going to improve America and enact policy based on those beliefs. (disclaimer: beliefs don't exclude love of money, money grubbing, or sacrificing the poor to gain more money) But libertarians really grind my gears because they think the solution to all the government's ails is no government at all. Honestly, give me a break. But maybe the rest of America disagrees, considering Ron Paul's recent success. I'm definitely not saying he's viable but he's creating quite a stir and in the money primary, there's a lot to be said about raising $6 million in a day. Perhaps, libertarians are potentially the third party that isn't laughed out of every election (Sorry Nader), giving American's a choice between hell, purgatory and or a free for all. Can anyone say ridiculous... Canada's looking more and more attractive each day.
