I've generally tried to stay out of this sort of thing on this forum, but I can't help but saying
This illustrates why I am not a fan of either the Democratic Party or the Republican Party.
I generally see the Democratic Party as the greater threat. And the best way I know to fight Democrats is to support Republican candidates. That certainly doesn't mean I agree with everything the Republicans push.
If I thought the Libertarians had a snowball's chance, I'd back them more than I do.
