The LP is different from any other party. Only the Libertarian Party requires each and every single member to sign a pledge that they agree to a certain set of principles. Nobody else does this. It's not so much that I have allegiance to the party. There are many people inside the party that I'd never vote for. But as a general rule of thumb, libertarians are far better people, far more intelligent, far more ethical, and have a greater understanding of what it takes to fix the damage caused by the major parties.

So while I won't vote for everyone inside the LP, I won't consider anyone outside it. Any vote for a Democrat or a Republican is a vote for larger, more expensive, more intrusive government that violates the limitations on its powers, steals more of our money, starts more unconstitutional wars (kills more people), attacks more of our civil rights, and tries to control more of our daily lives.
