I'm a libertarian with a SMALL l, thank you. The national Libertarian Party is run by idiots who every four years waste millions of hard-won dollars for no purpose whatsoever.
And if I had to cast the deciding ballot between Bush and Badnarik, I'd vote for Bush without hesitation. Libertarians like Badnarik don't seem to understand that national defense is one of the few legitimate uses of government power, and that the War on Terror, including the war in Iraq, is an integral part of national defense.
They aren't even in favor of national integrity when it comes to things like the illegal immigration issue. That floors me. To turn America into the world's doormat is the most insane nihilism. Not that Bush has acted much more firmly, and probably won't until we get another gang of 9/11 style attackers that trooped in through the south door.
National Defense (and abortion) would be where I disgree with Libertarians. I think I would be comfortable however describing myself as a fiscal libertarian. Naturally hating big government. Ie. With the NSA, FBI and CIA, why did the US need another monolithic entity like Homeland Security?
How much of the vote will Nader pull from Kerry? Will any of it come from Florida?
