Of course, I'd be more willing to vote Badnarik if I were in a swing state - spoiling either candidate would get our party some much needed attention. Four years of Kerry would be but a small sacrifice if it meant getting Libertarians into office in 2008 and turning government around.
Nice. Don't take sh**t offa people who don't take the third party guys seriously. I voted for third party candidates in the past and I know how irritating that is. The folks whining about how Perot cost Bush the election and the folks whining about how Nader cost Gore seem to be missing the point that their candidates really sucked, and that's why their candidates lost to better candidates.
And Beef, you're right about what big spenders the GOP have become, and about how they're too into the wedge issues just now. All the more reason to change 'em from within, instead of whine about it from without. I admire that you came to this decision seriously. I'd like to echo John Dibble's sentiments: I'm glad you made a decision to vote for who you think is best, given the miserable alternatives, whether or not it's the same guy I'm voting for. Though I'm certainly glad it's my guy
Score one for the Gipper! (or, um, the gipper's vice president's junior. whatever. you know what I mean.)
