Not to many options out there. Maybe I just wont vote.

I guess you haven't seen the attacks on that particular stategy all over this forum. The people who say hey will do that are called traitors to their country and worthless sloths who abdicate their resposibility to their couinrty. Of course it's nonsense, but then most of what we read around here can be called that as well.

In my opinion, the two beltway parties are worthless.

LOL, you can get in BIG BIG trouble for that around here too. Any tiny difference in scope or detail on any policy is held up as a clear choice between the two parties. Never mind that they agree in principle on the policy. Like social security for instance or tax policy. They differ on the details but stand in line to "save" them because they are good. LOL

How about you? Who will you vote for?

Time for an appointment, I'll check back later if you want me to expound on that question.

I vote mostly Libertarian when given the chance. The ballot access laws in this country are rigged to keep any meaningful competition to the duopoly from appearing. The election laws concerning such things are conciderably freer in Russia and South Africa than here in the land of the free and the brave.

When not given a libertarian option (of any party) I usually vote for outsiders in Republican primaries. Those who run on freedom/rights type issues. I sometimes vote in primaries for people who will move the Republican party in a libertarian direction or who have a special issue that I hope to make mainstream, like eliminating the income tax or reworking social security into a private plan.

In most election races, I skip voting altogether when confronted with a non-choice between Republicans and Democrats who will do almost the same thing if elected. In those instances I usually only vote in a few contests ignoring the rest. Morons call this an "undervote".

I have even voted for Democrats on a very few occasions in elections of local interest when they opposed crooks who I wanted to dismiss.
