No one ever asked me whether I was libertarian...

This election is a tough one for a lot of conservatives. They know that Obama is not the candidate for the job, but they don't like what the Republican Party did when it was in power. A lot of conservatives and libertarians want to 'get' the GOP, to punish it for what it did. They want to cut off the nose to spite the face. But I don't think that is the way to go. I read this article once, about a guy who once was a libertarian, and happily voted libertarian, while the Clintons ran the White House. He finally split after 9/11, and now is lost. I tell him- join the GOP and vote for McCain.

As a teacher, I teach my student that the two major parties are simply empty vehicles. Right now, the GOP matches my ideas better, so I'm going to put them in power and advance my way up through the party. That doesn't mean I'm going to vote for 'moderates' or 'liberals'- I work real hard in primaries to knock off the RINO's, and battle with all my might at party conventions. But come general election, I'm not going to let a Democrat win.

Don't lose hope, and don't spite the GOP by electing Obama. 8 years of Democrat rule will not make the world a better place.
