Some of the things on my plate include:
Smaller government, something the Republicans have not accomplished nor really push for.
Elimination of the federal Dept of Education, something the Republicans have not accomplished nor really push for.
Elimination of Social Security, something the Republicans have not accomplished nor really push for.
Elimination of Medicare, something the Republicans have not accomplished nor really push for.
Elimination of moral legislation, something the Republicans have not accomplished nor really push for.
Elimination of the income tax, something the Republicans have not accomplished nor really push for.
Since the Republicans have not accomplished nor really pushed hard for these things on my personal agenda (and BTW, I am morally opposed to abortion[aka murder], prostitution and drugs, I just dont care if someone else does the latter 2) I have decided to stop throwing away my vote by solely voting Republican.
Blow on that duck call, boy.

You have a moral objection against abortion, but you don't want any laws regulating abortion--is that correct?

I'm guessing you're hiding dope, sodomy, prostitution, and pornography laws under "moral laws" (and actually, all criminal laws are fundamentally based on moral precepts), so I'll set that one aside.
The remainder of your plate holds goals common to most conservative Republicans. I agree with them. Yet you are a libertarian and I am a fairly typical conservative Republican. How, then, do we differ? What items are exclusively on your plate that serve to distinguish us? Dope, porn, sodomy, and prostitution . . . maybe gambling. That's about it.
We also differ in that I have realistic and practical understanding of how difficult it will be to implement the conservative agenda. I tend to remember that most of my fellow American citizens are not quite ready--nor is the nation able--to dismantle overnight the mammoth welfare state that the liberal democrats had 60 years to design and build. I am willing to work for incremental change in the short term. I actually work at making a difference. I sure don't waste my vote.
