He realizes that our system is
broken and had less of a chance in another party. So, he ran as a Rep.
yet you still insist on throwing your vote out the window. Why not work with
what we currently have as Ron Paul did? Just a thought and BTW, I agree
with you on the Ron Paul thing.

You only throw your vote away when you insist on voting year after year
for the same people who caused the problems in the first place. This is
completely irrational behavior - I won't even call it logical.
I'm sure most everyone here would never tolerate, let alone practice
such nonsense in their computer-related work - unless forced to by an
equally irrational management. Although such
We-live-in-a-binary-universe thinking seems not uncommon among
engineer/programmer types in my observation.
Vote your conscience. Vote for the candidate who best matches your
beliefs rather than for the one you think won't win without your vote.
To do otherwise and then whine about the results is nothing less than
hypocrisy.
Everyone voting for the lesser of two evils only results in the devil
being elected. If you voted for either one, it's your fault that you got
what you deserved, and not my fault for voting for a third party candidate.
I confess I'm torn between deciding which is worse: people not voting or
stoopid people voting.*
