"... the current administration is so worthy of being turned out..."

That is indisputable. Probably among the top 2 or 3 most worthy of such a fate. Every incumbent there ever has been or will be is worthy of that.

But to quote a Friedman disciple criticizing Marx's progressive income tax is funny because it was Friedman that helped get the most insidious aspect of said tax implemented: withholding.

" I played a significant role, no question about it, in introducing withholding." Milton Friedman to Reason Mag. June 1995.

I wish you would investigate the subtle but critical difference between real free market economics and monetarism. Monetarists like Friedman, and his mentor Fisher, advocate government deficit"stimulus" spending, central bank control of money issuance, and top down imposed distortions of the economy in downturns. None of this can be considered free market advocacy.

You need come to terms with another fact, there is no conservative on the ballot in the 2 wings this time. If you want to vote Romney, then do so and admit it's all about your loathing of Obama. But don't try to make a "conservative" case for Romney.
