Neither, as mentioned many times in this poll, it's Libertarians, which is why I don't get why Ron Paul wasn't elected when he ran. He is exactly what I believe how government should be run but didn't get there, very unfortunate.

He understands our liberty and for the people. End the ridiculous wars, end Illegal Aliens from being here, end the FED. The government should print it's own money not a private instutution like the FED. Nothing backing the federal reserve notes but thin air. All fake money like bitcoin.

I would have voted _ About the Same. The dems are control freaks and so are the Republicans. Both claim to respect freedom, yet both are always seeking to limit freedoms. Neither is about individual responsibility and accountability. Power and control is what both parties are really about.

Because most Republicans care as much for liberty as do Democrats.

Meaning not very much at all.

It's cute that the OP thinks either party is for freedom.

Imo, they're both as toxic as the other. We've got to move past the two party system. They both suuuuuuuuuuuck.

Even cuter is how some folks wax on re: who 'deserves to die' for thinking differently than they do.

Ridiculously.

Each is activist in their own way.

Neither, both are full to the brim with tyrants.

The concept of parties generally requires promising your followers that on their behalf, you will hurt someone they don't like. So neither lets anyone live and let live, and both oppress to the same degree.

The distinction WITH a difference is the Totalitarians who feel their opposition 'deserves to die'.
