Go get him, Swiftees!

I am glad that I am not supporting Bush. If I was, and the best campaign issue I could come up with was questioning the details of Kerry's combat medals while my guy wasn't even there, I would feel pretty foolish.

If this is the big campaign issue, then the libertarian assertion that there is no substantive difference between them is valid and the only possible candidate to vote for is Badnarik.

You are not wasting a vote when you refuse to choose between two evil candidates.

No offense, but you sound kind of bitter. It may be that you didn't lose that election just because you only spent $55.

What utter nonsense. Many of these guys are not supporters of GWB, they are actually registered democrats. They are not doing this to support Bush - they are doing it to get the truth out about Kerry. They are doing it for the country they went to war for.

The cornerstone of the Kerry campaign is his 4 months "in country" and these men have something to say about it and I am danged glad they have.

This has not got one thing to do with Bush vs. kerry.....It's the Veterans against kerry's lies......a major difference.

Exactly: you're wasting a vote if your choice is between two evil candidates, and that's why I would never vote for an evil pro-abort guy like Badnarek.

I am a libertarian, and I will definitely be voting for Bush. I will do so for three reasons:

1) Of the two feasible candidates, Bush is by far the "least bad". He is likely to appoint judges with a libertarian judicial philosophy, which Kerry would never do. Condorcet voting theory necessitates a vote for Bush here.
2) The Democratic party has become a social democratic coalition that is opposed to individual economic liberty, which is the basis for all other liberty. I wish to hasten the destruction of the Democratic Party as it exists in its current, unstable form. I believe that in the wake of its demise, there will arise a mid-sized leftist coalition party, a large libertarian-oriented party, and a large socially conservative party with a mostly capitalist orientation.
3) I think that the WOT must be won to preserve individual liberty, despite the unfortunate statist implications. I will work to get the egregious portions of the USPA repealed.

Swift Vets are a non-issue in my vote. It is for consumption by the swing voters.

So, you're not going to vote because there is no Libertarian candidate. I assume you're OK with that?

If you don't support Bush, Kerry could win. I assume you're OK with that?

Do you have any idea how absurd your position is?

By not voting Bush, your personal goals will take a giant, giant step backward.

The please feel free to stick your head in the toilet and flush. Repeatedly. Get used to that sound; it will be the sound of your vote.
