I would never vote Libertarian, but I really think that this line of argument is seriously misguided. We have a perfect right to vote for anyone we wish- and if that means that a "mainstream" candidate loses, well, so be it. Maybe Thune should have campaigned harder, or taken better measures against voter fraud on the reservations. It's not the fault of people who voted for third parties- most of whom probably would have stayed home, anyway, except for the chance to cast their little "protest vote".

Michael Medved is often wrong- and I don't think much of his movie criticism, either.

Maybe if the Republicans took their oath to the Constitution seriously, I would be persuaded to vote for them again.

As it stands now, especially after the passage of the hideous Homeland Security beuracracy, I don't see how the pubbies are any different that the dims.

Medved wrote this? Damn, I usually agree with his views, maybe 50-50 on the movies, but this time he's wrong.

I agree, 100 percent. There's no such thing as a "wasted" vote, and to blame another party for "stealing" said votes is the act of a whiner.
