I am a card carrying registered member of the Libertarian Party. This is not to say that I march lockstep to every Libertarian position on every issue. Far from it. It just so happened that the Libertarian Party more closely matches my views on more issues than either the Democratic Party or the Rebublican Party. It seems to me that both of the major parties put their own interests above the interests of the country, as a whole. So much so, that once you peel away all of the rhetoric, the differences between the two become blurred. It's time for a third party to spice up the salad. I see more and more people espousing Libertarian leanings, yet would never vote Libertarian, for fear of "throwing their vote away". If you vote for the party, or candidate, of your choice...then you are never going to be throwing your vote away. Even if that vote just sends a message that enough is enough. We are sick of the status quo, and you are hereby served notice that we expect more from our elected officials than we have been given.
