Dude, I can't believe you'd vote for the party I mostly identify with!  Not THAT guy, but still, the general principles of the party...you just want the "medical mary jane" though, right?  "Dood, poke me in the eye so I can get a dope prescription"  ;)

It's a two-party system.  If you vote for a liberal non-democrat it is EXACTLY the same as voting for George Bush.  If you vote for a conservative non-republican it is EXACTLY the same as voting for John Kerry.  The type of electoral system your country uses should inform your vote.

This depends, though, on where you live.  I live in Utah, so I'll be voting for Marilyn Chambers (for Vice President - I don't remember the name of her running mate).  I wouldn't throw away my vote if there was any chance in hell that it could count, though.  If you live in a remotely competitive state, though, voting for a 3rd party is just cutting off your nose to spite your face.

EXACTLY!  Who knew you would be able to come up with something so reasoned and well stated?  ;)

Certainly not anyone who knows ya!   ;D

If my state WEREN'T going to be a hotly contested one this year (WI), I still wouldn't be voting Badnarik...I'd throw a write-in for Glenn Beck out there, cuz I think LEFT-handed cigarettes are as bad as the A(removing your)CLU not fighting for the rights of REGULAR cigarette smokers

Well first of all, Im not old enough to vote, but Im telling others to vote. I'm just saying if someone I didn't like got voted in and I voted for them, I'd be pretty pissed at myself, so I'd vote for someone I like.

Besides, If you don't vote you cant complain ;D

PATENTLY untrue.  The soldiers people may or may not want fighting....the right to complain no matter what - it is a hard fought and won right of each and every American, no matter if you disagree with them or not.  Whether I like it or not, they give Mr Moore the right to spout his bilge, just as they give non-voters the right to complain.  

It IS commendable that you would encourage others to vote regardless of your ability to do so.  

Now take your lefty views and move to Cuba  ;)
