Though that's also why i'm voting for McCain.  Most likely to come through on that.

 

Seems to be that you're the run of the mill Libertarian. 

I really dont mean to be an ass, but how is it that you think Republicans want to stay out of everyone's lives?  Republicans want to teach Christianity (Creationism, absitence only) in school, want to tell consenting adults who they can and cannot marry, and so forth.  The only thing I can think of that the Democrats would be intruding upon is gun laws, though there are other things they are together with conservatives on, such as entertainment ratings.

Some of us view it this way:

- The religious whackos in the Republican party are mostly benign. They squawk and holler a lot, but they rarely accomplish anything. The rest of the country is too adamantly against them to allow them to succeed.

- The Democrats are always able to spend more money while in power. No one seems to notice until after the fact. Their zealots, while still mostly powerless, manage to slip in expenditures here and there and balloon the size of government over time.

Which is why you see so many Libertarians side with the GOP, despite their intense hatred of the Religious Right. While the RR is annoying, they're more like a gnat with a bullhorn. Loud, obnoxious, but still pretty harmless. The Democrats do a good job of keeping the crazy bastards in check while (until Bush and other spend-happy Republicans came along) the GOP keeps spending in line.
