1. Not vote for Romney
2. Not support Obama
3. Cast a strategic vote against the Democratic Party
If you live in a solid blue state then you can and should vote for Jill Stein the Green Party Candidate. You should do so for these reasons:
1. You won't be voting for the RINO Romney
2. You won't be helping Obama to get re-elected
3. There is a chance that if enough people vote for the Green Party candidate then in future elections they will be allowed into debates and given more credence by the MSM. This may help to siphon the "true-believer" socialists and commies from the Democrat to the Green Party.
Go ahead and vote Republican down the rest of the ticket. Go ahead and hold your nose and vote Romney if your state is in play. But if you are like those of us in California where Romney has no chance at all, then a strategic vote for the Green Party could pose problems in the future for the Democrats.
Believe it or not there are plenty of Democrats who think Obama is too conservative and too beholden to corporate interests and should be replaced by someone more amenable to a national health service and punishing levels of taxation. Even if these crazies knew that conservatives were voting for the Green Party only for strategic reasons, if they thought the Green Party had a real chance to get to 5% they might even join us this election cycle.
I have every intent of voting for my conservative congressman and I will happily vote for Pete Hoekstra against Debbie Stabenow.
Hoekstra is flawed and he’s got RINO tendencies but he isn’t the bridge to far that Romney is. Voting for Hoekstra is like voting for Bush. Voting for Romney is like voting for Bill Clinton.
Oh, lord... I have explained that and explained that and EXPLAINED that to the harpies of the Sister-Wife Squadron, hereabouts; and, to date, not ONE of them has done anything more than blink, dully and stupidly, at the (evidently) unimaginable concept of being in a state where one's vote DOES. NOT. MATTER, due to said location's electoral color being solidly and irrevocably opposite in nature.
You'll be preaching to the intellectual equivalent of a rock quarry on this one. Trust me. ;)
I am in the process of moving to New Hampshire,a state that's very much a swing state.In 2000 algore came within something like 1000 votes of carrying NH.If he had carried it it would be "former President algore" today.So,yes...

Absolutely. I hope this message is heeded.
Unfortunately I’m in Virginia...
Green Party? Is that an Agenda 21, enviro-nazi party? If so, I’d rather go with the Constitution Party—if I chose to cast a “protest” vote, which I probably won’t.
