Forget those tired 'old-party hacks'; Vote Libertarian

Forget those tired 'old-party hacks'; Vote Libertarian

Date published: 10/4/2004

Robotically, the proponents of state socialism have been battling back and forth on these letters pages, all claiming only their version of socialism has all the answers to solve America's problems.

Unfortunately, their collective delusions have dire consequences for the entire nation.

Consider: Democrats and Republicans have brought us government that subsidizes and protects tobacco farmers but sponsors lawsuits against tobacco; that arms Iraq, and then eviscerates it; that encourages sprawl with ever-expanding setback and minimum-lot-size requirements and then tries to stop sprawl with other regulations; and that fights a drug war on the street but bribes educators to drug 6 million kids in the classroom.

This is political insanity.

Why waste a vote for the lunatic politics of the past? Votes for either of the old-party hacks guarantee only more of what we've always gotten from them in the past: bigger, more intrusive, less responsive, less accountable, more expensive, and more insane government.

Michael Badnarik and the Libertarians are the only alternative to the socialist parties.

Only the Libertarians offer less--less expensive government, less intrusion into Americans' personal lives, less taxation, less regulation, and less wasteful and counterproductive government programs.

Libertarians have the only new ideas in an otherwise boring, bland political season. Forget the robots--take a look at the Libertarian Party, and decide for yourself.
