27. Therefore all libertarians are assholes?
Hmmmm. not.

I'm no GOP stooge, i'm voting for Mr. Kerry.

I agree with the CATO institutes work on ending the drugs war.
Its too bad no democratic party has the balls to be so honest about
a policy base that has done nothing but destroy the nation from within. To say that the wisdom is invalid because "CATO" is evil
makes y'all sound like the Xtion fundies that "we" claim to despise.
Ad hominem is not very becoming... all because CATO makes some
very compelling arguments that dems cannot refute... so better to
attack them and ignore the arguments.

That site you quoted, ain't worth much that it mistakes the capital "L" libertarian party with real libertarian people and concerns. Free market "darwinist" capitalism is hardly what i
support, any more than you do.

My point is that there are very few big "L" libertarians next to the
much more common small "l" libertarians. You sweepingly include
us all in the evil GOP stooge bucket and discount our constructive
input towards making a better country.

The bigots sound distinctly not libertarian in this regard, and rather "democratic" were the word to handle such an abuse.

Read this thread, and pretend you're a person with libertarian
sympathies. Who's the bigot? Who's vote are you winning?
Whose vote are you losing?

Since Dennis Kucinich is not the candidate, why should i vote for
kerry, a man who i have very little politics in common with, except
a distinct interest in deposing the most anti-libertarian president
in modern history (*).

Better to re-wire the sales pitch on this thread to constructively
win over libertarians. As it stands. Democrats with no coherent
policies or serious think tank backup go about bashing folks who
have thought out their polices more coherently. Don't bash CATO,
post your own link for a "democratic" solution.

As it stands, it sounds terribly like bigotry from this angle.
