sadly, it seems that the old saw about the states--that is a single party state with two right wings--appears correct to me in the present context.
i find myself voting entirely instrumentally--in the coming election for kerry because of a profound contempt for bush and everything he stands for--this despite the fact that kerry is well to the right of anything i would consider actively supporting.
i have to say i do not understand libertarian political ideology, in part because it is a catch-all category that in places with a real political spectrum would be split left/right--and in part because many self-described libertarians i have encountered confuse ayn rand with a philosopher, and this i cannot fathom--when i hear it, it functions as instant delegitimation.
