To me I see the socialist on the right and left, therefore, I will not vote for either. The 2008 bailouts were a joke... big oil substities... a joke, as are all substities....miiltary industrial complex... joke...

believing in the idea of liberty of choice both personally and fiscally priceless...

Again, I respect all opinions on here, just think the republicrats and democains are one and the same....

Quating from the man "...every four years we are treated to the same tired, predictable routine: two candidates with few disagreements on fundamentals pretend that they represent dramatically different philosophies of government. The supposedly conservative candidate tells us about wast in the government and ticks off $10 million in frivolous pork barrel projects that outrage him.... Conservatives are told that they must support these candidates and so they do hoping for the best. And nothing changes".

I agree with the above statement.

For a libertarian, you seem to be accepting much of the Democratic talking points without question. Big oil companies are not subsidized by taxpayers and their average profit margins are under 10 percent - far lower than those of many other major industries. The most recently update estimate of this year's budget deficit is about $1.2 trillion - the fourth straight annual deficit of more than $1 trillion.

I agree that Bush and the Republicans were big spenders when they had control of both houses of Congress but if you compare the deficits during those years, you cannot possibly believe that there is no difference in fiscal responsibility between the two major parties. In Obama's first, and hopefully last, term the federal government will accumulate 1/3 of the national debt. Our current per capita debt is substantially more than that of Greece.

I could understand an anarchist supporting Obama but if our economy collapses, the pace of change will accelerate and libertarians will not like the changes any better than mainstream Republicans. Neither will mainstream liberals.
