When you vote with this kind of blind party loyalty, wasting your vote is exactly what you are doing. Only when you vote for principle does your vote mean something. When you vote for that in which you do not believe, you waste your vote on "the lesser of two evils." Well, the "lesser of two evils" is still an evil.

"Our first president, George Washington, warned us about the dangers of putting any political party above the general interests of the country. It would do well for Americans today to relearn this basic lesson. Our loyalty must first and foremost be to the fundamental principles upon which our nation was built, not to the finite interests of political partisanship."
"It is a fatal mistake to assume that any political party is the harbinger of patriotism. Theodore Roosevelt said, 'Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country.'"
"My loyalty to a party or politician must be measured by his loyalty to the fundamental principles on which America was founded. When I remain loyal to a politician or party after they demonstrate an unwillingness to be faithful to those immutable principles I am guilty of disloyalty to my country."
