I'm not sure I "converted" to it. I used to be a die-hard Democrat because I'm pro-choice and very "liberal" socially. Then I started making money (the old saying: "Show me 10 lottery winners, and I'll show you 10 ex-Democrats"). So I voted Republican because I am fiscally conservative.
This last year I watched a Gary Johnson speech. He made more sense than Obama and Romney combined. And when he said "I'm pro-choice for EVERYTHING", I realized he was defining what FREEDOM means.
Instead of "converting", I think I just opened my eyes and realized that I was already a Libertarian but didn't realize it and was caught up in the 2-party bullshit.
