It doesn't matter. I'm a libertarian but even I want someone like Obama to win if it means ridding the White House of those crazy Christians and all the pent-up repression and hatred. He won't ruin the country and he can't be a bigger spender than Bush. Romney is power-hungry and believes in nothing but himself.

I can see the pent-up repression and hatred, laid bare. Anti-Christian bigotry emanates from LIBERAL PROGRESSIVES such as yourself, Matt.
No libertarian would ever want for Obama: His views and policies are totally antithetical to personal liberty. Obama is a statist first and always.
Rather interestingly, on the subject of Christians, crazy or otherwise, Christopher Hitchens--- [External Link]--- has noticed that:
'Sen. Obama is a congregant of a church in Chicago called Trinity United Church of Christ. I recommend that you take a brisk tour of its Web site. Run by the sort of character that the press often guardedly describes as "flamboyant"—a man calling himself the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.—this bizarre outfit describes itself as "Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian" and speaks of "a chosen people" whose nature we are allowed to assume is "Afrocentric." Trinity United sells creationist books and its home page includes a graphic link to a thing called Goodsearch—the name is surmounted with a halo in its logo—which announces cheerily that "Every time you search or shop online! Our Church earns money."...'
But of course, this is perfectly acceptable for anyone who has decided that the best way to sweep (and keep) the GOP (and fellow-travelers, of whom Hillary seems to be one!!!) out of the White House is to go with Obama.
