Reckon there's enough folks who would vote Libertarian in east Tennessee to split the Republican vote? Maybe this is a good thing. The answer to your questions are no and yes.

There are two types of Libertarians...

The kind that want drugs to be legalized so they can do more drugs and not get arrested for it.

And the kind that wants drugs to be legalized so that the first group overdoses and dies and thus helps the gene pool.

In all seriousness, I've met quite a few Libertarians that were nothing short of scumbags. Telling me that people should be allowed to suffer and die if they can't afford medicines/housing/whatever. Social Darwinists in other words.

Or, alternatively, they run for President and go to the grave with their nutty ideas.
