Defensive Voting.

Two-party system pretty much guarantees defensive voting by informed people. Most Republicans I know hold their noses when voting got GOP. The most common positive view of McCain I heard was “He’s old, maybe he’ll die soon after the election.” Others merely thought he was less

The sad thing is that most informed Americans voting for the current bunch of Democrats in power are seeking to contain Republican authoritarians by inviting actual totalitarians. So we are going to watch what I can only call the "legitimate rape of the Constitution & the Bill of Rights" for the next four years - including the unfortunately upcoming SCOTUS appointments. The reason is, few Americans can tell a totalitarian from an authoritarian, and this is going to cost us dearly.

I had a coworker that told me he voted for Barack Hussein Obama. I asked him if someone was blackmailing him because he is normally very anti-Obama. In summary he stated that "America is going to sink regardless of who I vote for, and I want to be young and able enough to survive when it does. Obama will just speed up the process"

I promptly told him he was crazy, and to not hasten the day... But I'm beginning to think differently.

"And the Libertarians will continue to have the organizational capabilities of autistic cats, getting the same 1% in every election."

Snerk. Not just herding cats, but autistic cats. I love this line.

Unfortunately, the Libertarian PArty is the contradiction in the definition. I don't know a way around it.
