Lol. I remember you said you didn't have confidence is folks voting for McCain. You have confidence they'd vote for this guy? Its too late for him...to have a chance at winning the presidency. But, not too late for him or any other 3rd party candidate to have significant impact on the outcome of the elections.

I've been Libertarian for a number of years. I've voted for the Libertarian presidential candidate as well a couple of times. It has always been when I just didn't feel like I could even associate myself with either one of the other candidates. I almost always vote for the Libertarian candidate in for local and state elections. It is just responsible to at least investigate the Libertarian Party. Most reasonable people have at least as much in common with them as the Reps or Dems. Bob Barr has a great message, and I wish the other parties would allow him at their debates.

Great to see you've seen the light, Copro. I'm also happy to see more and more Libertarians running for office on a local level. Hopefully we'll nab a few seats and make some difference, even if it's at the local level.

Consider it a protest vote. I'm sick of the whole process. McCain is going to lose. He doesn't need my one measly vote.

That whole "english. learn it" comment was truly unnecessary. My response is in reference to your own words:

And, you might as not well vote. You're saying McCain is going to "lose", well so is Barr. Barr doesn't need your one measly vote either. Its people like you that say "there is no point", "my vote doesn't matter" and "we are going to lose" that take away from votes and leave a candidate, that you had preferred, lagging behind.

I agree. That comment was uncalled for.

👍 on all points made.

I have to endure a non-cogent, poorly phrased insult, and you say my response is "uncalled for". Give me a break.

Barr is the only one who understands that BOTH Obama and McCain are more of the same. Neither will make a difference because both have their hands in the cookie jar. Obama refused to take Federal campaign money because he knew he'd get far more money to finance his campaign from special interest (witness the informercial on Wednesday night). McCain lost me with his defense of the trillion-plus bail out. Anyone who believes the two-party system has the answers is falling into a false dilemma.

I've, starting long ago, always felt a bit failed by the two-party system. It has evolved to become the "standard" way we do things in the U.S. unfortunately. There are more choices. But, people are far more interested in believing a 30-second TV commercial than they are at doing their own homework. That's all it takes to sway people. And, these people are allowed to vote. 🙁 It reminds me of Marc Antony's speech in the Shakespeare play, "Julius Ceasar". How easily the crowd is swayed...

The real tradegy in all of this is that many of the big lobbies and PACs are giving money to both candidates. That's right. They are placing their bets on either/or. You know why? Because they will win - and win big - no matter what. Imagine if you could bet on both teams during an NFL football match on the weekends and still get paid. Who wouldn't lay down their money willingly? What a scam.

Open your eyes, people. Enough protest votes and maybe Washington will start getting the message. Look at what happened to Joe Lieberman in Connecticut if you think that this false dichotomy of "right" versus "left" does anything but to serve special interest. This, at least, is proof that an Independent can still win if the message

More government = you, as a physician, getting f**ked. With the Obama/McCain false dichotomy, you're going to get more government. Rest assured. It doesn't matter which of them wins.

I've seen the light. And, I think everyone who finds the two-party system a joke should read this excellent article:

It didn't seem to be an insult at all. Other than superfluous wording, the only error appears to be is for in.

I try not to attack someone else's grammar when they likely speak more than one language.

The Libertarian Party will continue to grow in numbers, in large part because the Democrats and Republicans both say a lot and make many promises, but in reality they both back a way of governing that punishes hard work and ingenuity, and rewards laziness.

If you're a Republican, how can you honestly look yourself in the mirror when you tell yourself you want less government, and your candidate say the same, and yet he votes for $60 billion in bailout which takes power away from the free market that you so desire. It's saying one thing and acting the complete opposite. It makes no sense and in the end it sends the message that you stand for nothing.

Copralia, I am sure someone as smart as you could have used surrounding text to figure out what I was saying. It was a very minor error that I could not even notice myself after re-reading it (thank you Bertelman I see where my error is now). Sometimes I make mistakes, don't we all? In the future, please do not take minor errors as an offense or "insult" because I meant no insult at all. I encourage you to ask people respectfully for further clarification should you not understand something they have said.

Hi Southpaw. Let me further explain that comment. Let me begin by saying I respect your viewpoint. And, I believe that people should vote for the candidate they see fit to be the Presidente whether that be Republican, Democrat or 3rd Party Candidate. The reason I made that response is because it seemed that Coprolalia was voting for Barr in spite. She did say she was in "protest". She also said that it didn't matter if she did not vote for him because her vote for McCain doesn't matter since he will "lose". Now, while I support people voting for 3rd Party Candidates, it seems that in this election Barr will not be able to win the presidency (according to polls). So, the rationale that not voting for McCain because he isn't going to win and her vote doesn't matter does not make sense if it doesn't apply to Barr either. Also, I personally believe that it is a foolish mentality to have. I think a big reason why candidates lag behind in polls and election results is because there are people have that mentality "my vote doesn't matter". I am glad to see the Libertarian Party grow because it means that people are seeing that they do not have to settle for Republican or Democrat (if those 2 parties do not meet their ideals) and that there are other options that may truly cater to their political beliefs and ideals.

Now, although I do not think Barr will win this election, I believe that 3rd Party Candidates have such great influence on elections. They have more power then may be obvious to the average person to notice. If you would like me to explain further in what I mean let me know and I will.

Thank you for the fyi.

Sorry Corprolalia. Something about the "lalia" part made you think you were a woman.

FYI #2- "lalia" in this instance is less a feminine suffix as it is the second stem of his name. Coprolalia is a trait of some folks with Tourette. They spurt out obscenities. It translates to $hit talk.

Definitely one of the better SDN screen names.

I always do that for screen names that end in "a." Same thing for girls whose SNs end in "o" (a la Hoberto).
