One of the reasons I became a Libertarian is to punish Republicans like him for pretending to be something they're not.

Well! There you have it, folks!

A vote, not for principle, but for punishment. Well, at least you're honest.

I've been looking, trying to find Jim Rob's view on voting 3rd party and how it is actually a vote for a Clinton dem. He posted it on a thread a couple of months ago but the find a poster search doesn't go back that far. It certainly backs up the "Thanks for helping elect Cantwell" statement.

Thanks for the compliment; I am honest. But you missed the point. My vote is for both principle AND punishment. Rewarding the principled (Libertarians, Constitutionalists, and some rare conservative Republicans) and punishing the Slade Gortons, Lamar Alexanders, Richard Riordans etc. of the world. The GOP loves to preach competition and free choice but hates to practice it. When I exercise my free choice they insult me and claim I'm helping the Democrats. If they were really honest with themselves and the people they would do what they encourage business to do; see the err of your ways and make changes to keep your customers. Instead they act like the offended party when THEY are the ones who are selling us out. That's why there really isn't a dime's worth of difference between them and the Democrats; they think they're doing you a favor by driving your car off the cliff at 85 miles an hour instead of the Democrats' 95.
