by @ Monday, September 1st, 2008. Filed under 2008 Election, Bob Barr, John McCain, Politics, The Liberty Papers

Brad Warbiany, one of my co-bloggers at The Liberty Papers, on why libertarian Republicans shouldn’t feel guilty about voting against John McCain, even if it does throw the election to Obama:
