Well said! Between Democratic vote fraud and the two major parties badgering anyone who wants to vote for they believe, It's ironic that Afghanistan may end up having a freer and more honest election than we will. I'm going to disagree with you about there not being another choice, however. People don't "have" to chose the lesser of two evils.

All it takes is people voting their conscience instead of acting like they are betting on a football game and checking "the line." People who did the former gave us a revolution and the greatest political documents in mankind's history. If our founding fathers thought like some Republican (or Democratic) partisans today who badger people for voting for anyone besides their particular anointed one, King George's last name would be a number instead of "Bush."

"All it takes is people voting their conscience instead of acting like they are betting on a football game and checking "the line." you said.

I agree to some extent but when checking the odds Kerry has a 100% chance of destroying over 225 years of our Constitutional Republic. Bush has erred in signing the anti 1st Amendment Campaign Finance Law but I still and once again have access to most any firearm for my collection of 1st Amendment guarantees. And he has taken out a lot of bad people who want to kill us just because they like to kill.

Otherwise We are very much in agreement. I voted for Perot in 92 and it got Clinton elected. If 3% of the voters vote Libertarian it takes votes from Bush and elects sKerry.
Voting my consciense is exercizing that Electing Bush now still gives us another chance to truely reform presidential politics. Electing sKerry dooms us to unknown and probably irreversable damage to our nations survival.
I just wish other candidates were allowed the opportunity to debate.
