Over the years one comes to the conclusion that Democrats and Republicans are equally held together far more by expedient party loyalty than core principles. For this reason, we are always a bit uneasy when we see Ruth Dwyer wearing her necklace festooned with elephants. We Libertarians do not support the Republicans or the Democrats because we have become utterly disillusioned with them. The major parties are like chameleons, those lizards who adopt different colors in their own self-interests. We Libertarians have core principles which are in opposition to the views held by the other two parties regarding the proper role of government in our lives.
Libertarians are far more loyal to their principles than to party interests.
If you vote for a Democrat or Republican whom you know well, you might from time to time be supporting a good person.
