I mean, I generally think of myself as a liberal, but I do have conservative tendencies. Course, I'd vote Republican before I voted Libertarian...

Perception vs reality is kinda what I was aiming for. Also, I understand that sentiment of not wanting to vote for the Libertarian Party. I guess the idea isn't as much about which party you like best, but which one most closely matches your ideals. I agree that the Libertatian Party is flawed. However, identifying oneself as libertarian doesn't necessarily mean you are a party member.
I believe the Republican Party should be conservative but they aren't always. When they fall off the conservative wagon it embarrasses me to call myself a Republican.
Anway...I hope that makes some sense.
Thanks for the response!
