Dan, I think you make some excellent points, and illustrate why so many people vote Republican. Myself, I am tired of the "lesser of two evils". I think the people of this great nation deserve better than to have to choose merely who they hate the least to lead them. And people wonder why the younger generations are so cynical and don't give a shit about anything.
It's true the Libertarians have some wacky ideas in their platform that could never fly in reality, like no taxes on anything, and being against the GWOT. That's because most of the people who have actually taken the step over to them are the most marginalized. But if you look at political polls taken, most people in both the major parties agree with them on most issues. However, its a fear of no longer being with a big winning party that stops people from turning their backs. What you should realize is, that if a large portion of people from both parties came over, it would naturally square away some of the more extreme ideals in the party and make it one most people could feel good about voting for.
