Well, I feel similarly the same way except I'm vying instead for an honest libertarian...I've had enough of both lying Republicans and Democrats although I have to admit that the Democrats are significantly worse!

It is a sad day for America, but that is what it has really gotten down to...very much the lesser of two evils. I am fed up with the Repubs for MANY reasons, but there is NO WAY I will put a socialist/Marxist in the White House and turn the defense and economy of this country over to the liberals.
That would be the end.
Evidently you don't feel the same way or you would not vote for a libertarian, by all means vote for a libertarian and put the "significatly worse" demwit into office when the vote is split.
Whoa, that one really sets off the 'oxymoron' meter.
The GOP owes a great deal to the LP for not fielding many candidates this year. Had the LP ran but a handful of candidates in key places, it would have been devastating.
It's your vote and you should follow your conscience. Don't let anyone pressure you into going against your own conscience.
I've never met one I could stomach.
Enjoy 'vying' with the demokrat your none-vote installs

The "Honest Libertarian" here in Montana, Stan Jones, trailing way back in the polls, replicated alot of the same views as the kook Jon Tester. I took that as a rousing endorsement of Liberalism.
"...honest libertarian...
A bunch of libertarian posts indicate the platform is
Get out of Iraq
Legalize drugs
Legalize abortions on demand
Open borders
You for that faction?
The media has planned to discourage all the conservatives it can so they don't vote or vote for libertarians. Many conservatives will do exactly what the media wants proving to both parties that the media can control how enough voters vote to control the outcome of elections.
So if the Democrats win the election, both parties will move to the left. The primary reason most elected Republicans are doing the leftist thing is they are convinced that the only way to win is to try to please the media. So they are trying to please the media.
What would blow both elected officials and the media out of the water would be a Republican victory. That would prove that the voters control who gets elected. Both parties would move to the right. Everyone knows that elected Democrats are to the left of the Democratic party base. But they, like the Republicans, believe that the only people they must please are those in the media. But if Democrats lose it will change both Republican and Democratic minds about the power of the media. They will try to align themselves with the Democratic base which is currently more conservative than elected Democrats. The media's influence will be greatly reduced.
But it is quite likely that enough conservatives will do all they can to prove that the media is in control. The main stream media thinks that conservatives are dumb and easily lead to do counter productive things to their cause. Perhaps they are right.
I like the Libertarian philosophy too. However, we need to vote for candidates that are electable. A RINO is better than a RAT. At least the RINO is a place holder. This is very important when it comes to committee assignments. Here in NM, we have a mix of all three. Pearce, a true conservative, Wilson, a RINO and Udall, a RAT whackjob. Wilson is my candidate. The alternative is Patricia Madrid, a Pelosi look-alike.
