I suppose my views would make me a libertarian. I am loath to support the American Libertarian Party, however, because its foreign policy is naively isolationist and because its internal debates seem to grant disproportionate legitimacy to a vocal wing of fanatics. I have no idea. I am not an activist, just the author of a humble Web page. I do not blame politicians for the idiocy of governments.
Politicians are mere vehicles for the expression of the idiocy of the people.
Folks regularly ignore serious political events, and at election time they declare their support for a candidate because he has what appears to be a good marriage or because the local TV news reader says he made a clever quip at what passes for a debate. One study indicated that the factors most highly correlated with U.S. presidential electoral success are hair thickness and height. You've contradicted yourself. You are either a hypocrite or a liar and, either way, I will not vote for you. If we all did that, and kept informed enough to know when it was appropriate, our politicians and laws would change profoundly.
