Anyone who is a true Libertarian and believes in the values of libertarianism should be voting Libertarian.
Or not voting at all, which, as I'd said, is a growing orientation of Libertarian voters. Which isn't to mention the following: if one were truly individually freedom-oriented, why wouldn't they - if, for whatever reason they liked a candidate - vote for Bush or Kerry, for that matter? Or write their own name in, if the fancy struck them?
Both are statist parties, looking to increase and further the power of the state that supports them.
That's correct. The career politician is, with few exceptions, primarily and foremost an expert in his and his constituents' survival; secondarily, he/they launch initiatives with an eye on the polls and, typically, a two- to four-year time horizon.
Whether Democrat or Republican...and, were such a time to come, perhaps it'd be seen even with Libertarians, Constitutionals, 'Greens', or what have you...the thread of continuity is the trend in governing power and its' flows: variously toward, or away from, a central political body.
