My problem is that the Libertarian critique of the Republicans is still valid: the only time the Republicans ever try to uphold their campaign promises are right about the time the next electoral cycle starts (and that by small numbers of relatively unimportant folks in the House). It’s rope-a-dope for the voter. I may not relish the idea of another eight years of the Clintons screwing up our foreign and domestic policy… but why should I reward the folks who passed McCain-Feingold and the latest gargantuan package for the baby boomers?

I agree, Mr. Green, the Libertarians are pretty hopeless. But the major parties are openly corrupt: why reward them with a vote?
