OT fwiw, Didn't I say something like this before? A libertarian compromise by David Harsanyi "To impose a specific 'central organized principle,' a' la Al Gore, on an entire country is to subordinate everyone's individual plans and purpose to a static vision of a powerful elite. A society or nation cannot have a single narrow mission or set of values without falling into totalitarianism." --Virginia Postrel The time has come for libertarians to compromise, to settle on the lesser of two evils and comprehend the consequences of a wasted vote. As the voice of reason in an age of big government, libertarians must not remove themselves from the political process. Presidential candidate Harry Browne tours America receiving heaps of condescending praise from conservative television and radio talk show hosts. All of them agree with many of the principles of libertarian thought, but none would waste their votes on an unelectable candidate. The truth is that Browne -- though intelligent, affable and on the mark -- is not just unelectable, he is irrelevant. Libertarians should cast their vote for George W. Bush this November. Simply because Al Gore and the Democratic Party agenda has driven Republicans to take up socialist causes themselves, consequently pushing the American political debate further to the left than at any time in history. Understandably, most libertarians are trapped in an awkward ideological position: How can a classic liberal, fixed with strict ideological boundaries, vote for a big government Republican? It's easy, actually. All they need to do is look at the alternative. (cont) liberzine.com
