I understand your thoughts. I used to think the same thing about voting third party.
You have to do what you believe is right. I have no problem with that.
I disagree that it is the best way to go, but I understand how you came to the decision. You can only vote your conscience and you only have to answer to yourself. If you made the decision you believe is the right one and the best one, youve done the right thing.
As far as personal sleaze goes, I could point out that McCain is no prize in that area. But there is no need to get into that unless you want to.
You see your way clear to vote third party and I cant see my way to vote for another liberal just because hes a Republican. Thats OK. Thats why we have elections.
I know that the GOP is broken, but I don't think we can fix it. I was looking at poltical parties at wikipedia and came across this OXYMORON of a party.
