(and I count voting for a third party candidate when knowing that he has absolutely no chance of defeating the Democrat, and worse, actually planning and hoping to knock out the Republican candidate who otherwise might have defeated the Democrat, as doing nothing).

So much for anyone voting their convictions.
Just more of the "Republicans uber alles" rhetoric, right?

So now it's come to the 'vote Republican or you are doing nothing' scare tactics. Is the Republican party and its supporters that deperate? I don't care who tries this propganda, it is still nothing more than propoganda to say that if one doesn't vote in the approved manner one is less patriotic or less American or less caring.

BTW, I'm a registered Republican (once again) who voted against the incumbent who helped pass the Patriot Act. Just my little bit of doing nothing, I suppose. But I KNOW that there are more than plenty of Republicans who are EAGER to reward their reps who also voted for the Patriot Act and CFR.

I'm surprised at those that are quick to condemn the Democrats but willing to give the Republicans a pass.

Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil. Depending on a political party to defeat evil is idolotrous folly.

happy to see someone say what you did...my biggest problem with the republican party, although i am mostly conservative about election issues, is its position on healthcare...both parties are evil when so many go without satisfactory health care...yet, we love to brag about being the richest, most powerful country in the world and the lone superpower...BS...no way that we can be truly the richest or the most super when we have tens of thousands or more dying from being unable to get proper drugs and/or medical care...that is TRULY EVIL...and overshadows any good done by our country

Voting for libertarians or any other party at this point is voting for the democrats. It is easy to scream about how the republicans are not a party of "Principle" when the libertarian party has never placed one member into congress in its 30 year history. Yes I can lock myself in a room and scream about "Principle" yet that will get me nothing. We need the GOP back in power because if they do not take back the senate this country is sunk and we will see more New Deal programs untill this country goes bankrupt.

I find libertarians to be nothing but a group of selfish oafs who would rather cut off their nose to spite their face.

I wasn't even going to vote at all in 1996, Newt Gingritch had just sold us out on the budget thing. No one had read it. He even told Rush he would not allow it. But then he pushed it through, the next day.

Rush Limbaugh said that was the worse day he had ever had, and he almost left.

He never had "Mr. Newt" on again.

That is the most trite, not to mention, overused bumper sticker phrase on this site. The fact is that it is used by every mal-content that has ever punched a ballot. It was said about Reagan it is said about Bush. The reality is that there is a small segment of the population that are just plain angry all the time. NOTHING is enough and NOTHING ever will be enough.
