In short, voting for someone other than your favorite candidate is not only unappealing, but also contrary to your own best interests. The only way to make your voice heard is to actually VOTE, and when you do, vote for your principles.

Bingo. The clueless will fail to understand this simple principle.

Wouldn't doubt it, that is what "Lewsers" like tpaine do.

If all the people who wanted to voted for the Constitution Party actually voted for the Constitution Party, the Constitution Party would still get about 0.1% of the popular vote.

If you're true to your screen name, you'll vote for Bush, because if Kerry wins, you'll never see a conservative court for the rest of your life.

The pure voter will still have to endure a Kerry presidency...if enough voters follow Tpaine's advice. Isn't Tom Paine the name of a pro-Dem website...hmm a conspiracy-I'm getting my tin foil hat right now!

The author of this brilliant piece of logic is "unknown." If I authored this, I'd want to remain unknown too.

Do NOT bring "reality" into this.
They need to live in delusion.
