Do they become an ex-libertarian automatically? Or do you just think that when a person supports a candidate they automatically change all of their political opinions to line up with that candidate's opinions?Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13534096073937573676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429305915843274151.post-91370203468950725822008-10-15T14:15:00.000-04:002008-10-15T14:15:00.000-04:00Mark,<BR/><BR/>A libertarian is a person who upholds the principles of individual liberty, smaller government, lower taxes and more freedom.<BR/><BR/>Government interference in personal, business and family decisions should be kept to a bare minimum.Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13647911379690432984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429305915843274151.post-11710573809286338522008-10-14T21:20:00.000-04:002008-10-14T21:20:00.000-04:00Okay Brian, I'll play this game.
