Odd bedfellows indeed.
So... After my excruciating scrutiny of the dual NC's this month, I think I have come to a ...well, somewhat uncelebrant yet clearly necessary decision. I am voting my conscience.
Now, in the past, that would have meant Ralph Nader (my optimism), Ross Perot (my cynicism), or some possibly viable 3rd party candidate; one whom I believed ( Read more... )

I am not "voting for the lesser of 2 evils". I am voting AGAINST Romney/Ryan. If I thought for a millisecond that any third party candidate could generate the numbers to defeat them, I would totally support that.
I have no problem voting for an independent; I supported Ross Perot when he won 19% electoral in '92. I voted for Nader in '96, when he was drafted by the GPUS. Both of those times knowing that it would be Clinton after all, but making my stand, for the record at least. For me, this election isn't about that.
The last time a third party candidate became president was in 1850; and Fillmore wasn't even elected- he took over after Zachary Taylor died.
If there were an option on the screen saying "Anybody But Romney" I'd tick it.
Hell, even give me a neutrino of belief that a third party can swing the popular vote AWAY from Romney, and I'll be so far up Bob Barr's ass he'll think I'm a hamster.
