I used to be so obsessed with parties much as you are. I wasn’t old enough to vote until 2004, but in 2000, I was really discovering Libertarianism, but I did give my support to George W. Bush, then in 2004 I really loved Badnarik (still do), but he was against the war and so I had to vote for the liberal George Bush. Early this year the war had started to fall into the nether regions of my mind where the mundane of non important aspects of life would sit, then I started hearing from Michael Savage and others about how we really weren’t fighting a war we had a thick 2″ book of rules and regulations for our troops and I didn’t think that was right, so I looked into it and come to find and really realize the lack of leadership Bush has provided. There are tons of rules on our troops which prohibit them fighting any kind of war, the troops were severely undermanned to begin with, and had we left when Bush Declared victory (as we should have) then the region may be in less shambles today.
I was always uncomfortable that we didn’t declare war on afghanistan, and very uncomfortable that we didn’t delcare war on Iraq, and those two things combined with what is really going on over there led me to where I am at today.
I now realize that not only are we being taxed to blow up there bridges, but we are being taxed to rebuild them, all the while ours are falling down here.

Had the congress not seeded (unconstitutionally) power to the president to do what ever he wants in Iraq, had they declared war we would have gone in destroyed the regime and got out. Nation Building is not our problem, we would be able to protect our borders and our own country if private property rights were strongly enforced, and if these ridiculous entangling alliances were ended.
