In our last episode, BTR raised some concerns about voting Libertarian.
I think Dennis is right, we need to put some heat on Bush. I will not vote for him in the primary. However, I do not personally agree with some Libertarian positions, so I probably will have no choice but to vote for him in the election.
BTR, I'm curious about a few things.
First, do you agree with more, as a percentage, in the GOP platform than you do in the Libertarian? I have problems with some LP planks (granted, not many). I have far more problems with the GOP.
Second, what exactly is it that you disagree with in the LP platform? If you can provide specifics, perhaps I can help with any misunderstandings. If it's something not germane to TFL, feel free to contact me offline.
Third, bud, you *always* have a choice. No one can force you into the booth and make you punch the hole next to any candidate's name. It's all you. If you feel like you *must* vote for someone, then the system is broken. Of course, some of us have been saying that all along.
Again, if you (or anyone else) have any specific concerns with the LP, you're more than welcome to contact me personally, and I'll try to help you work through them.
