I done "did voted" Republican!!
You do realize that because of your title, most people did not read your post?
"Bednarik has been arrested multiple times because he refuses to get a drivers license, he has been denied many opportunities because he refuses to give out his thumb print or social security number. He still believes that US currency is unconstitutional, and only uses coinage in his business transactions. He's a fruit!"
I'll agree he's eccentric in his preference to confront the police state by not getting a driver's license and related activities, but US currency IS unconstitutional. The Constitution authorizes Congress to mint coinage and regulate the value thereof. It does not, however, empower Congress to authorize a private banking cartel to print fiat money with no value whatsoever.
To those of you attacking Alfons, shame on you. He is a Cuban immigrant who fled Castro, and has worked hard to attain the American dream. He takes his responsibility as a Citizen seriously, unlike many of you. He has realized that both major parties have discarded ideas about liberty, the rule of law, or the commonwealth tradition. Despite his admittedly questionable grammar, you should take a lesson from him.
I did voted for Badnarik too. :)
I respect your pluck, if not your decision.
Keep us up to date when the next Libertarian gets elected County Engineer somewhere.
I've decided to stay Republican, but increase activity in the RLC; that's the future for Libertarians who do not want to remain irrelevant.
I defend your right to vote for whomever you want, I for one will not join you in the party of anarchy.
It's "why I DONE voted Libertarian," DUMBASS.
So do you think we should have declared war on the USSR in the 1930s, since Stalin was then exterminating (by some estimates) 7 million Ukrainians?
For that matter, do you think we should have fought Japan and Germany and the USSR simultaneously in World War Two? After all, Stalin was exterminating people in greater numbers than either Japan or Germany, and as you suggest, we should not worry about making too many enemies.
We need more Libretarians in the fashion of Neal Boortz!
I vote Libertarian or Republican, as principles and pragmatics dictate. Since I live in WA, a state whose electoral votes were all going to Kerry regardless, whichever I chose couldn't have affected the outcome. So which did I prefer as a statement of my policy preferences? This time I had to say Bush, because he's strong (well, relatively) on the global struggle between civilization and Islamofascist barbarism, and Badnarik doesn't even seem aware of it.
I also vote for Libertarians or Republicans, depending upon the race. I live in Illinois, and, in the 2002 race for secretary of state, I heard that the republican nominee, Winnebago Co. Board Chairwoman Chris Kohn, was more liberal than many Democrats. She wanted her county government to pay for a new highway and a new prison, although not many people wanted either one. I knew that the incumbent, democrat Jesse White, would win, so I voted for the libertarian candidate who got 2% of the vote. White got about 65%.
