Did that help you changing to libertarian? I am not saying that all libertarian are bad. John Stossel for example is my favorite Libertarian. But by voting 3rd party you are handing your votes over to the left

Prove that. Don’t say it. Then file a fraud report and contact the media. Thats twice on this thread alone now you were corrected. Do you like to lie to conservatives?

Kaslin: But by voting 3rd party you are handing your votes over to the left.

And conversely, those normally inclined to vote Democrat, when they vote 3rd party ... they, too, are handing their votes to the left?

And first-time voters, ones who've never voted before, when they reject main party candidates and vote 3rd party, they are handing their votes to the left? Really, Kaslin?

The ONLY way to hand your vote to the left is to vote for a leftist candidate. In an election between two main party leftists, ala Romney vs Obama, a third party vote reduces the popular mandate of whichever leftist wins. So if you truly want to weaken leftism, voting 3rd party is your only option in that scenario.

THAT is the math, Kaslin FRiend.

Dear Kas,

re:”Did that help you changing to libertarian? I am not saying that all libertarian are bad. John Stossel for example is my favorite Libertarian. But by voting 3rd party you are handing your votes over to the left”

The politicians did help me in my choice, since both parties ‘left me and I not them”.

I vote by principle, i.e., ‘what is good for the nation - what will prove good for the next generation’, as I was taught, so many years ago, when Americans would beat the snot out of another American saying anything bad about this country.

I ‘registered’ Libertarian, to be the thorn in the side of both the Demoncrats and the Repubelicans.

I do NOT vote ‘party line’, to the point that I broke the nose of the union rep on the work floor, when he tried to intimidate me to vote ‘the union line’.

Voting ‘party line’ takes little or no thought, nor guts. My granduncle was the president of the local Democrat group, in Stamford, CT. My mother was a Democrat to where she believed I would be a little Democrat robot. When, in 1968, old boozer whoremonger and killer of his secretary Ted Kennedy foisted an anti-gun law on America, I knew it was wrong. I disappointed her to her last breath.
