I'm voting Libertarian. It doesn't seem to matter if the Republicans win since the Democrats still run things. For years, I've been thinking, "I'd vote for the Libertarian if I thought they could win, and I wasn't stealing a vote from the lesser of the Democrat/Republican evils."

Not anymore.

Understand that no party is going to fit your needs entirely. I'm a registered Libertarian, but even the Libbies get a bit extreme for my tastes at times. Some parties are one issue (the Green Party for example) with no real platform for anything else. There are also a few which are communist or socialist in disguise.

I just fear that far too many are going to abandon the electoral process entirely because of the human sacrifices made yesterday. Doing so would be a major mistake. I believe it could be playing into the hands of the liberal socialists. Far better I think to hang in there and fight the good fight..whether it be switching parties, working within your party to boot out the wimps and weenies and installing those who are more in line with your views, or whatever. Giving up would give the socialists the upper hand and having them in power would be a major calamity for this country.
