I completely agree with you and that's why I'll be casting my vote for whoever the republican candidate is. As much as I wish this weren't the case, I'm not naive. I know how the game is played. Until Libertarians hold a handful of nationally significant offices, a vote for them equals a vote for a Democrat. I'm saying the Republican Party as a whole need to reevaluate their position. Hold fast to fiscal conservatism and lighten up on social issues. Hell, if they would just agree to legalize marijuana, that would make a world of difference on their acceptance to independents. Let's face it, most of us in south Louisiana are high functioning drunks. What's the difference between a 6 pack a night habit and getting a little Chinese eyes at night, other than the government telling you it's bad? I though Republican's were supposed to be leery of government regulations? And for the record, I do not smoke weed nor will I when it is legalized..... I'm a drunk. Not a pothead.
