Specter v. Toomey:

This GOP Senate primary race perfectly illustrates why I, as a libertarian, don’t feel comfortable with the Republican Party. On the one hand we have Specter, who, although he has the “live & let live” on social issues attitude that I share, on economic issues, is a big-government statist, not much different than a moderate Democrat. And then we have Toomey, who is better than Specter on economic issues (but still not enough of an economic anti-statist for me…where is the Ron Paul of the Senate?), but is in bed with the Religious Right. I’ll just continue to vote my conscience: Libertarian.
