I can't support the Libertarian foreign policy nor their stance on drug legalization. Hence, the GOP is currently closest to my values. For the record, I voted for Clinton twice.
Yeah Obama definitely expanded government, the stimulus is not a new baseline for spending long term. Some of your views are still way too old-fashioned though.
You mean like we should balance our budget? That people should first be responsible for themselves, then their family before looking to government? I guess I'm fine with old-fashioned.
No I mean the opposite direction, too big government for my taste. Dude you've never met anyone more capitalist than me.
then what was the "i lean libertarian" nonsense? and ending military occupations all over the world/ freeing our prison system from the weight of victimless criminals are some of their better ideas
i think libertarian means anal beads, burnt hair, dancing in the diminishing light of a dying star, and dealer stands on 17
LOL. I don't vote down party lines. Like I said, I'm not a member of any party. I take a bit from each party and each party has stuff that I dislike. I hate the bigotry and moralizing of the GOP, I hate the economic policies and the nannyism of the Democratics and the isolationism of the Libertarians.
it almost seems like there should be a viable 3rd party to grab all these disenfranchised voters, oh well
So then Newt is a Libertarian? Come on dude, sorry but Libertarian usually has something to do with the Non-Aggression principle. You clearly don't believe in that.
Agreed. Every time I vote, I hold my nose. The more people with whom I speak, the more people I find feel similarly. Oftentimes, it comes down to what I care about more at the time, domestic or international issues, social or economic issues. Right now, I am most worried about our economy and then am worried about our foreign policy. That means I'll likely vote for Romney.
