Never said they were perfect but they, at least to me, seem better than the others.
I really doubt one could make a case that the Bush administration is harsh on Big Oil and M$.
One of the founding principles of the Libertarian party is that *everyone* inculding government and business be bound by a moral standard and are held accountable if they harm others.
I doubt seriously that the Libertarian, if they were in power (humorous I know), would take it easy on M$ squelching any competition or Enron (or Microsoft for that matter) rigging thier books.
The fact of the matter is the major parties are influenced by big money. Thats why they are major parties to begin with. The libertarian party isn't influenced to the same degree by big money and hence they are doomed to fail unless us dumbass americans wake-up and start giving a **** about how much government controls our lives.
Anyway, somehow a link to Bushisms turned into a philosophical political debate. I should start another thread on religion so I can alienate *everyone* on this board (first the Red Wings, now Libertarian, next up, Buddhism).
