Libertarians, as annoyingly dogmatic and unrealistic as they are, serve an important purpose- they divide up the right-wingers. The Libertarians can't stomach the social conservatism of the Christian theocrats, which can result in fewer Republican votes. Further, they may have the potential to infiltrate and change the Republican party's theocratic bent.
This can only be a good thing. :-)
I think of Libertarians as the adolescents of politics.They idealistically and naively oppose all authority, without making any distinctions between needed intervention and totalitarian abuse of power. which is childish. However, they come in handy for challenging the totalitarians.
