But seriously, I'm not wasting my vote on a third party candidate.
You live in a state that pretty much is going to vote Republican every election, right? Not a waste at all.

I don't really like going into politics (especially on a message board!) but yalls beliefs seem to have a lot in common with libertarianism.
Libertarians are essentially for small government and tend to weigh economic issues as the governments main purpose. This means economically (the key issue for me as well) that the scope of government should be limited and should provide basic services and minimal regulation of markets and collect taxes to pay for those services. On the social issue side, government essentially should not have a role in regulating social issues and thusly they tend to have more in common with the left on social issues, although the reasoning is a bit different at times. Obviously that is a very simplified explanation, but if the above at all describes your personal political beliefs I would reccomend doing a bit of research into it.
Libertarians in general tend to side with the right, Ron and Rand Paul are essentially libertarian in their beliefs, although they both represent the republic party in congress.
