I can't make that choice. I'll continue to vote for the Libertarian candidate.
If either party can produce a decent candidate be they male, female, black, white, purple, hermaphrodite, you name it, I'll vote for them. Too bad neither major party had produced an acceptable presidential candidate in either of the last two elections.
it's been far more then 2 elections since either party put up somthing worth even considering. My wife says "but voting outside the major parties is throwing your vote away" and I reply with "no, voting against your ideals and beliefs because they don't have a captial R or D by their name is throwing it away".
And no "true" conservative has voted republican in forever. Most "true" conservatives are really libertarians or constutionalists in hiding!
I always love when people say I'm wasting my vote because I'm voting for a third party presidential candidate. Unless you're in a swing state, your vote doesn't have much of an effect. There's really no chance of a Republican presidential candidate winning in Washington so anyone who votes for a Republican presidential candidate here is essentially wasting their vote too.
It would be nice if our government was set up in a way that 3rd parties had at least some impact. Unforunately, the Democrats and the Republicans don't want to give up their oligopoly of political power.
