I became a card-carrying Libertarian in the early 90&#8217;s, while I was finishing my first stint in college (and yes, they DID actually send you a laminated card for your wallet). I took a test one day that determined my political leanings were of the Libertarian \/ Conservative sort. And like Mr. Green, also a fine outstanding drunk, I too changed to Republican for the 2000 election, but for a different reason &#8211; I wanted a smaller government candidate, and G. W. Bush sounded better than the others. Boy, did I get bamboozled! Maybe I was as drunk as Mr. Green a.k.a. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vodkapundit.com\/\">&#8220;The VadkaPundit&#8221;<\/a> was when he became a Republican, but either we&#8217;ve both changed our stripes, or our stripes no longer fit in with the political landscape. I can&#8217;t call this period a political hangover, but I can say the current state of politics leaves me feeling a bit queasy and dissatisfied. I am at the same point in life as Mr. Green, were nothing anybody is saying in the political landscape is sounding like anything I can support. And like Mr. Green, I am on the verge of going it alone and becoming an Independent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Digg\",\"Reddit\",\"Bebo\",\"Delicious\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Goodbye%20To%20All%20That.\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div><p>Here&#8217;s why one guy decided to join, and now more recently, leave the Libertarian party.
