I was a member of the Libertarian Party. Then I went to vote. On the
voting cards here in California, there is a little blurb for each
candidate- a sort of what they stand for in six words or less. The
Libertarian candidate was listed as standing for "legalized chinchilla
farming". So now I am, reluctantly, a Republican. I'm just a little
less reluctant to be a Republican than I am to be a Democrat.
I thought about going Independent or looking at Reform or other
parties, but our current system is set up to HEAVILY favor incumbents
in national office. By default that means that either a Republican or
a Democrat is going to win almost without fail.
We have a de facto two party system, so I figured I would join one.
I'm definitely a libertarian at heart, but my wife made fun of me to
no end after the chinchilla thing. I mean, how can you take that
seriously?
