It is real simple....
I am going to vote for the small government candidate every time. If there are two small government candidates then I will vote for the one most likely to defeat the statist. I don't give a damn about which party they associate with. It could be Socialist Vs Constitution Vs Libertarian or Democrat Vs Republican Vs Green or Labour Vs Conservative Vs UKIP. I don't care. The candidate that advocates more forcefully (and believably) for a radically smaller role of government in our lives gets my vote. Understand, when I say "smaller" I don't mean "smaller than a fascist tyranny". I mean smaller like how the founders designed it.
Looking at the majority of Republicans now a days, I don't know if I will ever get the chance to vote for a Republican ever again.
It is real simple, libertarianism is left wing on at least two thirds of the political agenda.
Here is the leftists agenda hidden behind the Libertarian curtain.
Throw open the borders completely; only a rare individual (terrorist, disease carrier etc.) can be kept from freedom of movement through “political boundaries”, eliminate the Border Patrol and INS.
Homosexuals; total freedom in the military, gay marriage, adoption, child custody and everything else.
Abortion; zero restrictions or impediments full 9 months.
Pornography; no restraint, no restrictions.
Drugs; Meth, Heroin, Crack, and anything new that science and marketers can come up with, zero restrictions.
Advertising those drugs, prostitution, and pornography; zero restrictions.
Military Strength; minimal capabilities.
