My dad, who is a libertarian told me last night that he is going to vote for some third party asshole. Probalby the Libertarian, whomever that is. He says that even though he doesn't like Kerry, and calls Edwards a scumbag, he fears this mythical "Christian Coalition" influence on Bush. I tell him to list me the things which the Christian Coalition has done to make his life miserable, and then list the things which liberals have done to make his life miserable.
Michael Badnarik, the Libertarian party candidate for President, says this on his web-site
The War in Iraq is a failure, and the U.S. government should never have waged it. As your president, one of my first tasks will be to begin the orderly process of bringing our troops home as quickly as can safely be accomplished.
...It was because of American troops in Saudi Arabia, lethal sanctions on Iraq, support for states in serious violation of International Law, and siding with Israel in its dispute with the Palestinians to the tune of more than $3 billion per year in taxpayers' funds that terrorist leaders were able to recruit those individuals who caused 3,000 Americans to pay the ultimate price on September 11, 2001.
Mr Badnarik is nothing more than a blame America first isolationist. Now I am also a right leaning libertarian, but I realize that in an important state such as my dear old Pennsylvania, I know that every vote like the one my dad wants to make is against Bush. Just like I know every vote for Nader is basically a vote for Bush. Protest voted don't to anything except vote for everything you stand for. I don't think he realizes that the Libertarian part yis also against the war on grounds only Ayn Rand would understand.
