Quote of the day

Stephen Colbert [interviewing Bob Barr] –

“You accused the Bush administration of actually being big government. I disagree -- George Bush worked very hard to reduce government down to one person – him.”

Virtual buckeye to Mike Tuggle at Rebellion.

Ben:

Because the President is a symbol of national unity (not representing any state); I think it is inappropriate for a secessionist to even vote for President.

In the past, Libertarians have had some rather extreme positions against governmental involvement where I think such involvement is legitimate, so I have had trouble taking their candidates seriously. It is possible they could persuade me to vote for their candidate, but from what I know now, I should not consider it likely.

I agree with Harold. Please see my previous post entitled "No One for President!"
On the State level, I am not a member of any "party", although I often find the Libertarians agree with my views.
