What I'm getting at is that there are some inconsistencies here that confuse the hell out of me. You're a cigar smoking gun advocate, yet you vote for the very politicians who would seek every opportunity to take your freedom away, while taxing the begeezes out of you for the doing of it.

But Rob, there are other things involved that some of us may consider more important. You won't catch me defending Corzine, but I would jsut like to point out that just because someone has libertarian views, that does not mean that they cannot also vote against a republican candidate. There were a lot of other questions on the table, not least of which were education and research.
Personally i am much more concerned with these things than whether I can smoke in public, or whether it is difficult to own a firearm. I am not saying these are not important issues, but they are not the most important to me. It's good that there are people like you who are so intent on these areas, but that doesn't mean that they are (or even should be) the focus for everyone.
My main concern, to be honest, is education and research. Stem cell research alone (which Forreseter was unsettlingly vague about for most of the election) would have decided this for me.
