I finally know who I am Voting for

Mike Badnarik. Granted I do not like the stance he is taking in the Iraq War (he wants to pull out quicker than Kerry), but most of the other issues with him I agree with. He is on more state ballots than Nadar. And well, he is not Bush or Kerry.

Libertarian. There was some kafuffle here about him when he decided to get himself thrown in jail because the Cool Kids didn't let him into the Prez debates.

Why not vote the Communists or Nazis? It'll accomplish the exact same.

We really get to have fun down here: Greens, Reformed, Nazi, Socialist, Libertarian, and Communist are all on the ballot. Oh, yeah, and those two asshole parties. :wink:

Nazis and Communists running for office. Some people just don't get it. No Fascists though, so i suppose there is hope.

Excellent, yes.. soon... more people will vote thei concience and third parties will have a say in things!

To be honest, economically I am somewhere between old school GOP and Libertarian, but socially... I want the bill of rights back.

That's who I voted for. (Mail in ballot sent in over a week ago).

My state is pretty likely to go to Bush so I'd rather go the protest vote route than vote for either of the bad choices we got from the two main parties.

Yes indeed.

People thought there could never be a viable 3rd party in the UK either at one point. But the Lib Dems are doing very nicely right now.. and only get stronger with every election.

It can happen guys.. but as Alyrium said... it will take folks voting with their consiences rather than the attitude 'this is a wasted vote'.

Put your big fat booty in the booth bitch!

Funniest South Park bit I've seen in a long time and summed up the stupidity of that campaign.
