Here's the how and why both parties seem to be leading us in the same bigger Govt direction.
Genuine libertarianism is very much left wing. It's time for libertarians to stop fighting the left and take up the challenge of leading the left. If it feels good, do it. I decided a long time ago that no good Conservative should issue a "protest vote" by supporting Libertarians.
Republicans often fall short of what I expect -- but they will get my vote every time.
