I too was a Republican for much of my younger life. I then switched to being a Libertarian after reading a book by Harry Browne, a Libertarian Presidential candidate. The thing that attracted me was the absence of force. Since then, it has become evident that the Republican mindset (particularly among Christians) is that they like to believe that they don't believe in the use of force, when in fact they do. This makes one more deceived than one who flat out admits their belief in using force to get things done, as do many Democrats.
