One of my blogads on my post pages (follow the Permanent Link below) linked to this fellow, running for Ohio governor on the Libertarian ticket. It's nice to see a choice, ANY choice in elections today.

There doesn't appear to be much difference between Republicans and Democrats these days, especially at the national level. I guess your options are "moderate" and "liberal" with no choices for "conservative."

Heck, in North Carolina, AFTER a libertarian candidate registered to run for mayor, the state decided that you're not allowed to be a Libertarian in North Carolina.

Now who thinks Mr. Peirce, no matter how qualified, nor how good his intentions are, will win governor? You see, this is just one of the reasons that I think the only real hope for freedom in this country is The Free State Project. Seriously.

1 I totally respect your views, and ascribe to a lot of libetarian philosophies, but I'm surprised you don't see much difference between Republicans and Dems. Sure maybe in 2000, but looking ahead the differences couldn't be more stark in every branch of gov't. Great blog, btw .

2 Well, the big example is spending, especially at the federal level. Both Republicans and Democrats continue to spend more and more. Both parties massively expand government at all costs. Democrats love abortion, Republicans just don't care about it. Democrats support gay marriage, Republicans sometimes do, sometimes don't. Where's the difference?

4 There is less and less difference between the two major parties...it's all about WHAT each of them wants to spend the BIG BUCKS on-thats the only difference. They both SPEND, SPEND.
