The supreme court issue is that Bush is elected the people he would try to put in there would be people who lean more pro-life. That is a very important issue to me.

Except when they are dangerous. The Liberatarian Party has some dangerous ideas. Look at their fix on education:
Quote:
We advocate the complete separation of education and State. Government ownership, operation, regulation, and subsidy of schools and colleges should be ended. We call for the repeal of the guarantees of tax-funded, government-provided education, which are found in most state constitutions. We condemn compulsory education laws…and we call for an immediate repeal of such laws. Until government involvement in education is ended, we support elimination, within the governmental school system, of forced busing and corporal punishment. We further support immediate reduction of tax support for schools, and removal of the burden of school taxes from those not responsible for the education of children.

Complete privatization of education would really fuck things up. There are many people who would not be able to send their kids to school if the cost solely their burden. The entire country benefits from the education of our children, not just the kids going to school. Lower education means lower paying jobs which result in lower tax revenues, increased poverty, and higher crime. YOu might as well bring in a caste system.
They'd also like to get rid of the EPA. That's great. I'm sure industry would be willing to spend millions of dollars on pollution control equipment out of the goodness of their hearts. (

They also want to get rid of safety regulations and "let the markey dictate safety standards" (

OSHA? Don't need 'em. Forget about all the deaths and injures prevented because of them
HISTORY shows us that private industry won't spend a dime on protecting the environment or their workers until they are forced to do so. To say they are dangerous is a bit too nice. To say they have their heads completely up their asses is more correct.
