"As I read The Bush Betrayal, I thought about the group called "Libertarians for Bush," which supports the president's re-election. After finishing the book, I am tempted to write to them and encourage them -- in the interest of accuracy -- to change their name to "Libertarians for Massive Government." As Bovard makes clear, any Libertarian who votes for George W. Bush is voting for a bloated, expensive, un-Constitutional, warmongering, civil liberties-smashing, anti-free trade, pro-Drug War federal leviathan. Could you please explain to me how any so-called "libertarian" could support that?"

Damnit! I got called out.
The only reasons i will probably vote for Bush:
1) in a 2 party system, i vote conservative over liberal
2) he is strong on defense
3)........
I think anyone who is libertarian is voting for bush for only those reasons. Bush hasnt done jack to narrow the scope of govt, but i know for damn sure Kerry will increase it more.

Nice article by the way.

"Bush is as qualified to speak about freedom as former President Clinton is to speak about chastity." hahaha.

I posted this in another thread, but bush has a double didget lead in ga, he hasnt even campaigned here once, so every day im thinking more and more about voting Bednarik. If he could pull 1 million or more votes, he might draw some attention. Also, i think we have 7 libertarians on ballots in GA, one even was in the debate for a senate seat or a state senate seat or something.

Reasons i dont like bush:
1) read above article
2) damn patriot act
3) damn isreal

I dont care too mch for his stance on drugs, but Kerry will not be much improvement. The only ones willing to take that issue on are the 3rd parties.
