I think all the invective separates people who actually think pretty much alike. I’ll be fair when I deal with those who’ve come down on a different side of the “lesser of two evils” vote. I’ve been there before with McCain, GHW Bush, Bob Dole.
But, no more. I want a new party, tnl, and not starting now just means it gets pushed into the future. And since both candidates are evil (lesser of 2 evils), then now is an excellent time to start.
Drill here; drill now. The new supply will arrive faster than if we delay.
I hope you reconsider. You realize, of course, that the Constitution Party has a number of positions that libertarians would find acceptable.
I agree, and I admit that I have engaged in it at times, myself. It's apparent we all here are not happy with Romney. I think if the Democrat were Clinton or Kerry or Gore, I might be more inclined to agree with you. I just fear the dangers of another four years of Obama too much to risk continuing his 'rule'.

I have read the Constitution Party platform and find it quite agreeable; I wish the Republicans would adopt it. And, in the 9+ years since I first adopted that moniker, I drift more and more 'conservatarian'.

I agree with this.
And since I *have* been there before, and voted for dull Dole and RINO McCain, I’m not bent out of shape voting for a guy like Romney who will probably be as useful to conservatives as GHWBush was once he gets in.
It’s that Obama is far worse than Dukakis, Clinton or Gore, that makes this is a DEFCON 1 vote.
Romney is more conservative and less annoying than McCain was, at least (who had the habit of kicking conservatives in the shins just to suck up to the media). But I knew how bad Obama would be and really did what I could to get McCain elected. I was right, so I’m still ... Anyone But Obama.
