Lurking for years. An election year seems like a good time to jump in. Been voting straight Republican since Reagan ... but I’m TIRED of holding my nose. I believe in most of the Libertarian ideas, but sadly the party has become just as ruderless as the 'Rats and Republicans. Update: officially renounced the Libertarian party in June after they nominated Bob Barr. Now all I have to do is get around to changing my screen name. .
