I voted

How hard will it be for me to pretend that I'm a typical Alabaman?

If anyone votes republican or Libertarian what they are doing is basically saying the rich know what is best for the rest of us.

Piffle. Libertarian means get the government the hell out of my bedroom and my wallet.

We have a few democrats so politically correct here that they've forgotten what freedom of speech means. They've also forgotten what price controls lead to: shortages.

I'm fiscally conservative. Mostly free market. And socially libertarian. Oh, and a dove. I don't belong to any party.

Bullshit. Throwing pot and gay marriage at society is social issues which government should not stick its nose in anyway.

Libertarians on money and taxes are fucking worse than republicans because they have their noses further up the Koch brothers asses than republicans do.

Some people fail to understand that what the rich do not pay in taxes the rest of us pay for.

No, all you mean is "It is robbery when other people vote, but ok when I get what I want".

Workers create demand not the rich. Even billionaire Nick Hanauer has said as much.

Why the fuck should tax payers subsidize Walmart's slave wages when it would be cheaper for everyone to pay a livable wage?

If you seriously think Ayn Rand economics is good for humanity you are as bad as Che supporters.

You don't understand what game the democrats are playing. I really wish I could get the message through to you guys. But the democrats are creating regulations to protect the wealthy and powerful from competition. The GOP plays the same game, but not as blatant.
If you think the democrats have the poor in their interest, ask yourself why anybody would work at MacDonalds when you could serve better food for less and make more money.
Ask yourself why Obama appointed a telecom lobbyist to run the FCC.

The democrats are using clever phrases like income inequality, to eliminate income independence. They're not the party of civil rights anymore. They're the party of civil obedience.

Now that the republikkkans have lost their fucking marbles, democrats can rule with impunity. Their unlimited, unchecked authority will only lead to unscrutinized corruption.

The libertarian party is quickly becoming the party for liberals that have been chased out by police state progressives.

No dipshit.

It is as simple as you stupidly thinking the rich know what is best for us then bitching when government steps in and sticks up for the other classes.

Why the fuck should the middle class and poor have to compensate for the taxes the rich do not pay? Why is it they can pump money into campaigns and write laws that benefit them?

If Nader did not bitch about cars there would be far more automobile deaths today. And because the government forced car companies to make safer cars they learned to market them and did even better long term.

Do not fucking expect me to cry for the rich. They will NOT end up on cat food.

Lobbyists don't fund libertarians, they never did. Most of Ron Paul's donors were soldiers.

Not so, but don't let thinking cloud your kneejerk ideology.

I voted libertarian for a couple of offices. Had nothing to do with income levels.

Oh, hey, bumper-sticker politics.

Whatever they vote that's what they're voting for

Libertarians love Adam Smith.
“Civil government, so far as it is instituted for the security of property, is in reality instituted for the defense of the rich against the poor, or of those who have some property against those who have none at all.”
-Adam Smith

"Property is Theft. Anarchy is Order."
-Proudhon
