Too late... I voted early so I can sleep all day on election day 
All you have to do is lay down in a fetal position when it comes to illegal immigration.New2Atlanta said:What's it take to run as a libertarian ? Just a personal declaration, filing fee, petition with many signatures ? does the lib party leaders have to do anything to let you use that affiliation on the ballot ?
I'm talking GA of course. Election rules in some other states give great power to the established parties, power to keep the 3rd parties out.
Yeah, because the Dems and Republicans have done such a bang up job. :roll:cbp0229 said:All you have to do is lay down in a fetal position when it comes to illegal immigration.New2Atlanta said:What's it take to run as a libertarian ?

What part about an open borders policy means support of ILLEGAL immigration? Libertarians are for LEGAL immigration. Wanna come in? C'mon in, but we gotta know who you are and that you are here.cbp0229 said:All you have to do is lay down in a fetal position when it comes to illegal immigration.New2Atlanta said:What's it take to run as a libertarian ?

Please.mygunstoo said:This time is not a matter of voting for the Republicans or for the Libertarians, it is to vote out the Demoncratats from office before they crash this country.
Yes, it's much better to vote 3rd party and end up with the greater of two evils. But at least you have the warm fuzzies of being able to say "hey, it's not my fault, I didn't vote for either of them"Please.
This was said in 2000, in 2004, 2008, and every other election. The proper time to vote your conscience is NOW. Not next time. The lesser of two evils is still evil.
Looking for this same answer.... is there anyplace that has a breakdown on this?dunkel said:On that note, are any of these guys polling better than low single digits?
Yes, I often pick my candidates as if I'm betting on a horse race. I mean you have to pick the candidate that is going to win... and people wonder why nothing will ever change...WakesSS said:Looking for this same answer.... is there anyplace that has a breakdown on this?dunkel said:On that note, are any of these guys polling better than low single digits?
I would vote pretty much straight Libertarian but in certain Rep/Dem races with a super low digit Libertarian I might have to go with the Rep. to pull him over the top.
i.e. Monds is getting my vote because he's in line with my views and I don't think either Deal or Barnes will get a majority. Maybe having to have a run off in each one of these races will teach them they are not far enough right...
Yes, it is to better to go ahead and vote for the greater of two evils... if you are voting for evil, don't drag it out, get it over with. The end result is the same. Oh, wait, you don't want that much evil in YOUR lifetime, pass the buck down the line so your kids and grandkids will have to deal with the evil you brought them.dunkel said:Yes, it's much better to vote 3rd party and end up with the greater of two evils.

Not really. Just says you don't want socialism to come at you THIS fast. Folks could send a real message, "We're firing both of you", but no, won't happen, everyone has been divided for so long that they can't see that we all play for the same team.New2Atlanta said:Couple reasons, R sends a message to DC in these tough times,
Ok so you're saying we should actually vote democrat?JiG said:Yes, it is to better to go ahead and vote for the greater of two evils... if you are voting for evil, don't drag it out, get it over with.

Do you get warm fuzzies for evil? Seriously? Do you?
Yes, if you are voting for evil, it's the best evil. Don't go substandard on your evil. Get everything you vote for, and get it all right now.dunkel said:Ok so you're saying we should actually vote democrat?JiG said:Yes, it is to better to go ahead and vote for the greater of two evils... if you are voting for evil, don't drag it out, get it over with.

Is the two party system supposed to change? As much as we relish our founding father's original ideas that's one that should be thrown out?EJR914 said:Yes, I often pick my candidates as if I'm betting on a horse race.
