Yes, I know that Harry Browne is dead, but in the LRC article today by Johnny Kramer called “Tim Russert vs. Harry Browne,” Kramer quotes Browne from his Meet the Press interview in 2000. Although Browne was talking about the then upcoming 2000 election, what he said applies to the 2008 election just as well:
“No. You know, I know, everybody watching this show knows that four years from today, whichever of them is elected, government will be bigger, more expensive, more obtrusive, and more oppressive. If you vote Republican or Democrat, you are giving up. You’re saying ‘I’m never going to be free. America will never be a free country again. I will never get smaller government. So I’m just going to vote for the one I think will take me to hell at the slowest-possible rate.’”
