If your concern for tax policy trumps your concern for domestic human rights, fine. But you don't get a pass at my cocktail parties because it wasn't your voting issue --- people don't get to vote for Mussolini because they really like his transportation policy and they ride the train every day.

What's a pure libertarian to do? You're not a bigot simply because you hold your nose and vote for the lesser evil. Even if you don't get a pass. And I agree with the latter.
