- Your misconceptions arise from the fact that you are using an
- ethnocentric label "Libertarians" to dissect the political opinions
- of 2 INDIVIDUALS.
- The truth of the matter is that the Libertarians are the ONLY
- party that has a consistent philosophical platform based on personal
- freedom. The platforms of the Demopublicans are based soley on
- what will bring the most votes - not what will bring sound freedom
- and growth in the long run. The Demopublicans have no philosophical
- basis for their actions, and ride on whims, with flimsy, spurious
- campaign promises that will get them into office - not what will
- benefit the nation. If you disagree please think about the deficit,
- and the S & L debacle, these are just a few examples of the
- multitudinous ones that could be factually stated.
-
- Then again, perhaps they do have a common platform -> socialism!
