Quote of the Day
Voting Libertarian does not waste your vote...
On the contrary, if your choice is between a scary Kerry and a big government liberty bashing Bush, then you waste your vote if you vote for either of them because with either you get the same outcome. On the other hand, if you vote libertarian, and the libertarian votes exceed the difference between the candidates (Florida anyone), then over time you influence the parties that do have a chance of winning, not to risk losing your vote again. Anyway, that's my theory and I'm sticking to it. I see only one difference between the candidates. Leftists typically prefer nominating judges who both agree with them politically and also hold the typically leftist view that social justice is dispensed from the bench. Rightists typically prefer nominating judges who both agree with them politically and also hold the view that the Judiciary should not make law, and should know its place. I prefer less-activist, textualist, old school judges who know something about judicial restraint.
