I’ve been voting nearly straight ticket Republican since the 2000 election. I ended up voting for Bush in that election, changing my mind literally at the last second in the voting booth. I knew it was going to be close and I couldn’t make myself throw my vote away. I knew the Democrats were the real enemy so I held my nose and pulled the lever for Bush. 2000 was the beginning of the end of my dalliance with the Libertarians. It was then that I decided it made more sense to support the Republicans, as impure as they are, because they are actually in the game and have some hope of winning.
I hope you understand my frustration with liberaltarians over social issues.
We can’t win if we surrender social issues, because the economics flows from them.
