Yes, they’re about individual liberty, at least the principled ones who actually read and think. I had a brief fling with the Libertarian party back around the 2000 election. The town I lived in at the time happened to be where the chairman of the state Libertarian party lived. He was a chain smoking contrarian who carried a copy of the constitution in his pocket. In the contacts I had with him I had no reason to think he was anything but pro-liberty. I also quickly realized that he and that crowd were completely hopeless politically and had no real interest in being otherwise. I got in the voting booth and had the stark realization that as lame as the Republicans were, at least they were out on the field getting dirty fighting the Democrats rather than just being a debating society on the sidelines. I pulled the lever for Bush and returned to the Republican fold and haven’t looked back.
That may've been true in 2000; but would you pull for the current batch of Republicans?
The ones that refused to evict Boehner?
The ones that refuse to defund/abolish the out-of-control agencies like the IRS, NSA, and EPA?
The ones that refuse to take a stand for any principle that they claim they stand for?
The ones that, before the November elections, were already talking about pushing amnesty?
The ones that have, over the last decade, shown themselves to be indistinguishable from the Democrats?
Why on Earth would anyone want to vote for them?
