A Libertarian Mutiny?

Check out this great article by Bruce Bartlett, making the case that the Libertarians may be ready to pack up camp and leave the GOP. To be honest, I am with them (though certainly not for running into the arms of the Democrats). The GOP has become a party of big government, both in your wallet and in your bedroom.

So why do libertarians vote for them?

George W. Bush did not deliver on his promise to privatize Social Security, he did not deliver on his promise to reform the U.S. Tax Code, and he expanded government more than any other U.S. president since LBJ. Moreover, he engaged in such anti-libertarian policies as attempting to push through constitutional amendments banning gay marriage, and the burning of the American flag. I am personally sickened by both, but banning either erodes liberty and as such I oppose it.

Sorry George, but tax cuts alone don't make a compelling case.
