Why on Earth Would a Libertarian Support Obama?

I would classify myself as a libertarian. I am anti- big government, I am for low or no taxes, and I shudder at the thought of my country instigating wars. I have always opposed the patriot act, and am for freedom of the press and internet. As of late you will find that my posts support in one way or another Obama. If you ask me why my answer would include the following:

• Ron Paul did not run as a third party candidate.
• McCain will not help our situation abroad, and will likely instigate another war
• Wars tend to give the government more power, and tend to wipe out the middle class and citizen’s rights
• The future of America depends on a stable mind, not one quick to anger
• In my view McCain lacks the aforementioned

That said, there are still those issues regarding Obama’s planned policies which I have problems with; but in all reality folks wasting money on civic programs is much better than wasting money on a failed foreign policy.

I quote Benjamin Franklin: “There never was a good war or a bad peace.”
