WHY WOULD I VOTE FOR ENEMIES OF LIBERTY?

I am a 24-year-old university student living in the riding of Edmonton 
Strathcona. Like most people my age, I will not be voting. In fact, I won't 
even consider doing so. Why? Because there is no party that consistently 
supports freedom.

The Conservatives support freedom except when it comes to international war 
and illegal drugs: witness their support of the Iraq war and their 
opposition to marijuana legalization. Then there's the NDP. Though sharp 
when it comes to controversial issues like drugs and war, the party 
supports more government control on every single other issue. And the 
Liberals -- they're crooks no matter how you slice it.

When federal politicians start supporting liberty, I'll start supporting them.
