William F. Buckley had a solution to this koan: vote for the most conservative candidate who has a real chance of winning.

Voting for the lesser of two evils means you're still voting for evil. The question becomes - do we embolden conservatives in Congress by being the opposition party, or do we empower RINOs into shoving even more liberal dung down our throats?

I'm voting for Newt. Piss on these lesser of two evils, I'm choosing a good man.

“Voting for the lesser of two evils means you’re still voting for evil. ... I’m voting for Newt. Piss on these lesser of two evils, I’m choosing a good man.”

But you are still voting for the ‘lesser of two evils’ aren’t you? There is no such thing as a perfect man or perfect candidate and all candidates contain at least some evil. Any vote must therefore be a vote for the ‘lesser of two evils’. Why do you even vote?
