I've been told voting Libertarian is like a mouse giving the finger to a pouncing cat. You get impaled in the end any way, but at least you didn't go down without a fight. You can let the big government bastards know you won't continue supporting them unconditionally. If the republicans haven't EARNED your vote, you are truly wasting it by voting for them.

The last three presidential elections, I've voted for the libertarian cantidate. I live in the state of Missouri, and I didn't like voting for Dole, especially after he shafted 2nd Amendment supporters with the Brady Bill quick vote. And since MO went strongly for Bush last time, I had no problems voting my concience without worrying that Gore might carry MO.

But this time, it's going to be too close. I disagree with much that President Bush has supported during his first term, but I don't want to take a chance that Kerry might win. So I will be voting for Bush this time, and I've been trying to convince everyone else I know to do the same.

So what you're saying is you have convictions but when the chips may fall differently, you then have no convictions?

From one Libertarian to another, you will be disappointed. Bush is not significantly different from Kerry on any important issue. There really is no lesser evil this time. If all the people who are scared of Bush but will vote for him because they are more scared of Kerry, were to vote for Badnarik, we will have real regime change in this nation and the constitution will be restored.

Both of the clowns are big spenders. We get the inflation, no matter what the money is spent on. Both will continue the war and probably spread it to Iran. This will require a draft. They are truly both horrible choices and Badnarik is the one and only hope this year.

You are wasting your vote by backing Dubay (which can't make a difference anyhow). Aint' a dime's worth of difference between Dubya (a more big government president than Clinton!!!) and Kerry.
