When the wind changes

I almost didn't vote at all in the last election due to not liking either candidate much. I finally decided to vote for what I percieved to be the (not much) lesser of two evils. Not that my vote in that regard mattered much anyway, being in California.

That's a big reason why I vote Libertarian. If I were in Ohio perhaps I'd have to take the two parties a bit more seriously.

I think you might find the Libertarian party to your liking Morrigoon.

I too feel the Micheal Moores of the world have Hi-jacked the Dems, so what to do? 95% of the nation is stuck in the middle while 3% whack you over the head with a Bible in one hand and the Constitution in the other, and 2% whack you with the Communist manafesto. It are these types who make all the noise who get all the press, and seem to be the shining examples of what each party offers.

More and more, i have seen Repubs join the Libertarians, and the Dems become Independants.

I Know many who like to say the Republicans are the party of "Smaller" Government, but it is a myth. Under Reagan-Bush/1 it only seemed smaller, but if you look at deficit spending, you can see it was not the case, GW Bush runs the most bloated oversized Government since the New Deal.

Eventually ALL empires fall. At the rate this nation is being devided by the likes of Bush, Limbaugh, Savage, AND Jesse Jackson, Micheal Moore, and the Hollywood CLOWNS, (Penn, Sarandon, Asner & Co.) it will be a wonder if we make it another 20 years....

An option to picking a party is to register as "Decline to State". In CA you get to pick your party ballot or pick a non-partisan one for the primary election.

There is something about how the party counts your vote (it's counted but not the same as registered party voter but I'm not sure how).
