The leader of the Libertarian Party has voted against same-sex marraige, against legalizing medical marijuana, for the patriot act, and wants to ban Wicca in the military!? Does the word "Libertarian" mean nothing?

No, but another word comes to mind... "incompetent"...

Bob Barr was a fake. I have no idea how he was nominated for the Libertarian Party...

You begin with an error: Bob Barr was not and is not the "leader of the Libertarian Party." He was, unfortunately, the presidential candidate, the standard bearer, but NOT the leader. Besides, another error on your part, he has changed many of those positions you mention. Especially he now opposes the USA PATRIOT Act. Even when he voted for it, it was as a compromise to get some of the more egregious sections removed. And, even more interesting, he is part of the Marijuana Policy Project, so he has grown up considerably.

a fake. trojan. mole. saboteur. Not a leader, not a Libertarian. compromise is understandable but you do not undermine basic Libertarian priniciples for 'progress'.

They're are differnet types of Libertarians, just like there are liberal democrats and conservative democrats, same with the Republicans. Being a Liberatarian doesn't mean you have to be in favor of legalizing everything, that's just a common misconception.

I sometimes vote libertarian and even call myself one when the Democratic party goes completely loonytoons on me - and let me tell you that a voting record like that ain't Libertarian but Republican. Some repubs do that in states where "the party of Lincoln" is as popular as a pork chop in a synagogue...it's an old ruse which certainly hasn't been unnoticed by your keen eyes. Real Libertarians don't give a fig about same sex marriage, pot, or religion...and they sure as heck woudn't support the patriot act . This guy is just another Republican who's too ashamed of himself to admit it openly...what a looser!

Libetarian = Republican in sheep's clothing.

I think you must be confusing Libertarian with Liberal. While they share some views usually they differ on social issues. Why are you wasting your time anyway, vote Republican and everything will be okay :)
