Voting for Douchebags
John Kerry is a douchebag but I’m voting for him anyway Is a pretty interesting website, and a fairly entertaining read. Give it a try? You’ll at least get a laugh at some of the antics of Alan Blevins, the writer.
What about you, are you voting for a Douchebag or a Bush? (That’s a rhetorical question, douchebag)

Hah, no I didn’t do that page. I wouldn’t have.
Pfunk, who is/are the libertarian candidate(s)?

Well my advice if you dont like Bush, and Kerry is a douchebag, Vote Nader.

Actually, the Libertarians don’t have a strong Presidential candidate. They’ve decided instead to cluster together and push for local or state issues. There will be a Presidential candidate (maybe Gary Nolan? It’s still in the air), but he will probably mostly be there to help the public understand that we don’t have to put up with Big Brother.

After reading that page, I realized I was almost a libertarian. But the ideas on no real military is scary. Plus I dont believe the war on Drugs is dangerous for all kids in general.

Complete abolishment of military isn’t where the Libertarian line is (although some may want that). Libertarians mostly advocate defense-only military; in other words, we usually have no reason meddling in the affairs of other countries. In fact, I think military defense (a bit different from military offense!) is one of the few functions that Libertarians feel the federal government should be allowed to organize.
Here’s a quote from the Harry Browne pres. campaign of 2000:

Now, I should point out that I don’t think the Libertarian party has all the answers. In general, I think less federal power would equal more personal freedom; I’m voting Libertarian (sure, it’s a throwaway vote) mainly out of protest of the Patriot Act and bloated government program spending.
Libertarians don’t have a party stance on many issues. For example, about half of Libertarians are personally pro-choice, and about half are pro-life. The only party stance on that issue is that it should not be a federal matter, but a state matter at best.
So, I am Libertarian when it comes to federal government involvement/power, and a bit conservative on moral issues. However, I’ve decided not to vote along moral or religious issues. If we did, we’d practically be turning the federal government into a theocracy, and setting a precedent that forces everyone to follow the morality or religious convictions of the majority. Instead, I want a slim government that allows any religion or set of morality (that doesn’t directly harm others) to flourish.

It is a good valid point; however, he is to defend helpless countries if we are not threat to any country. For Instance, If Kuwait was allowed to be taken over, Saddam would have had too much control over the worlds Oil.
I do Strongly agree that OUr government is way too powerful, I am tired off seeing the government waste taxpayers money

Good question.
Well, I think the UN was designed with those kinds of scenarios in mind… but I don’t know much about the current effectiveness of the UN or how it operates.
I don’t think we should throw US troops into a global police force. If individuals want to volunteer for that, then fine. The problem, then, would be if the UN (or some other global police force) grew to have too much power. But, that’s not a situation we have to worry about right now, cause WE are the overpowered global police force at the moment.

I believe freedom is important as long as personal freedoms dont effect other people. I admire you in your political conviction. I cant bring myself to throw away a vote, and I really dont want to see Kerry in Office. I know Bush isnt the best answer, however Reagan cant run again.

You have made me take a serious look at the Libretarian vote and local and state levels. As long as they stick their political agenda

Wow. I guess that makes me the lone Kerry voter ’round these parts.
April 30th, 2004 at 4:35 pm
nah, I imagine the Ram man is gonna vote against Bush.

I want the republicans out of my bedroom….still.
May 4th, 2004 at 7:45 am
I would rather have the republicans in my bedroom, than the democrats take all my money. But Really both parties are about the same on both of those issues. The only thing that really separates them is moral issues.
