Matt Welch, who writes that he &quot;wouldn&#39;t vote for Sarah Palin at gunpoint,&quot; <a href="http://reason.com/blog/2010/02/12/hey-libertarians-liberals-are?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+reason%2FHitandRun+%28Reason+Online+-+Hit+%26+Run+Blog%29">sighs</a>:</p>

<p>What I do care about, regardless of who&#39;s president, is human freedom and prosperity. And I strongly and consistently suspect that when the government accumulates more power, I and everyone else (except those wielding it) have less of which I seek. Republicans diss libertarians when they&#39;re in power, and Democrats diss libertarians when they&#39;re in power. Their changing attitudes toward our little (albeit growing) tribe is mildly interesting, but it&#39;s about as newsworthy (and painful) as a dog biting a chew toy.</p>
