Libertarians are republicans what???
I can see how libertarians and republicans meet eye to eye on business dealings.

But the passing of the patriot act, Asscroft's BS, and the hell in GITMO should completely overturn any shred of alliance that they ever had.

How can you vote for republicans ....WHEN THEY TOOK AWAY THE VERY NAME OF YOUR PARTY!!!


There is no liberty with the bush admin or patriot act

2. They don't care
I know several avowed Libertarians and they ALL vote Republican!

Now, as well-off, straight, white folks tell me what on Earth do they have to fear from a conservative social agenda?

Virtually nil. Even if the Republicans successfully attack their libertine, divorcee, mostly faithless lifestyle... they know that only the poor and middle class will be put under the microscope.

3. They don't agree with Republicans either as far as
pocketbook issues go. The governments, the government's budget, and the deficit have all gotten bigger. I'm sure that they probably don't like getting nickeled and dimed for gas, college tuition(and all the costs associated), road and bridge tolls.

5. Gay marriage?
What about civil rights? Shouldn't they be FOR gay rights including marriage?

6. No
Most support gay marriage, yes, and equal rights under the law. But they don't even support the Civil Rights Act of 64, so of course they would oppose ENDA and hate crimes.

7. Libertarians
tend to be very conservative politically. Pure libertarian politics is a fantasy and where the road meets the rubber, white libertarians are just like GW Bush: they want to be left alone to do their drugs of choice and steal from pensioners.
