   Agreed.

   But there you have my only quibble.  Many true libertarians   
   I know aren't teabaggers, because they understand that the   
   teabaggers  aren't true libertarians, they've been co-opted   
   by the big money interests who will always suck down some   
   more corporate welfare if they can get it.  Onerous   
   regulations, they're only for small businesses and average   
   folks.

   That is a very apt description of Romney.  i have enough   
   problems voting for ROmney (or any mormon for that matter)   
   let alone his attitudes.   
   I might vote for a catholic, a jew, many other folks, but I   
   don't trust that church's leadership.   
      
   There are parts of mormonism I can actually relate to, i.e.   
   their beliefs that disaster preparedness is first and   
   foremost an individual responsibility, but some of the rest   
   ...
