There is no party for me. I don't like the choices I have to make.
Libertarian. Love the principles but I rather suspect that if went all the way we'd find the invisible hand needed some guidance. I think the military would be too small. Read their party platform. It's simplet. Let's start getting rid of laws!
Democrat. Great on social issues overall. Certainly in keeping with the spirit of freedom and equality. I like the new emphasis on "fiscal responsibility". I don't like the socialized economy. Too much Marxism. I don't want to be more like Europe. Foreign policy? Too many Dems were opposed to the war for my taste. Too much internationalism. Not enough self-determination. Weapons proliferation is to me the most important security issue of the past five decades. We've already been getting it wrong for half a century. Let's start to get it right.
Republican. Too controlling socially. My personal life is none of your business. Thanks. Might be taking over the Democrat's old role of big government. Rugged individualism is here. That's good. We're America. Not West Europe. Bush is right. Stop the weapons proliferation.
When taken in totality, I don't like any of these choices nor any of the others. What's left? The system we have. Sort of like specialized interest parties that each make their case and we end up somewhere in between. I like it.
