You
only have one vote. How best to use it to advance liberty? A
libertarian preparing to vote in a House or Senate race this
November that features three candidates, a Republican, a Democrat
and a Libertarian must make a decision. Richard Tisei, the gay
pro-liberty Republican candidate for the House of Representatives
in the 6th congressional district in Massachusetts lost
by 3,650 votes in 2012. The libertarian candidate, Dan Fishman, won
16,668 votes. The winner, Democrat John Tierney was a consistent
vote for statism for his entire career and the past two years. In
2006, Montana’s Republican Senator Conrad Burns lost to his
Democrat opponent Tester by 3,562 votes. The Libertarian
Candidate Stan Jones captured 10,377 votes. Tester’s win meant that
Obama had 60 votes in December 2009 and could pass Obamacare. That
one vote passed a bill designed to fail into single-payer over
time. Did the “too cool for school” libertarians advance liberty
when they voted that day? Grover Norquist says that libertarians
should vote for the Republican Party’s liberty candidates this
time.
