The LP has some great ideas but they're too consumed with the War on Drugs, gambling, and legalizing prostitution. They're just not a viable political party. Better to stick with the GOP and keep the heat on the RINOs, than to throw your vote away to malcontents who'll cause the Rat to win.
Plus I'm still mad at Ed Thompson and the LP here in Wisconsin, who threw the race to Jim Doyle in 2002.
That's called a 'Masturbatory Vote'.
Accomplishes nothing past making the voter 'feel' like he/she is doing something.
