Is George Bush perfect? No. Is he as similar to Al Gore as this article pretends? No. I'll take the tax cut, the ban on abortion funding abroad, the movement toward a missile defense, and the resolute action in Afghanistan (if not yet in the Middle East). If Al Gore had stolen the election, things would be very much worse than they are now.
Plus, after watching the last campaign, I have problems thinking that the Libertarian Party is truly conservative on many issues. The impression I had was all talk and no action, and great emphasis on me, me, me.
You say that like it's a bad thing.
(Not that I agree with your assessment of emphasis.)
As you say, there's no way that Browne will ever get more than 2 or 3 percent of the vote. And for good reason.

My comment:
I will reply in a similar fashion to that of a response by Imal to an article I posted a few days ago:
"This is another step in a process that began oh so long ago," wrote Imal. "Get used to it."
I think Browne is more right than wrong. Bush and Gore may seem to be so different. But in reality, having Bush as president (and I voted for him) only slows down a teeny weeny bit of our creeping socialism. I'm not suggesting that having a radical like Browne (and I mean radical in a good way) would be any better (there would be plenty of other problems that we cannot even begin to predict).
(On a side note, I must admit and concede, however, that, when you are looking at say, Cuba, and say, Italy , the two nation's look alot closer together when you are looking at them from Pluto than they do when you are looking at them from the earth's moon.)
