I have heard in some of my propagandist papers that to vote for the lesser of two evils is still evil.
The reason I voted for Michael Badnarik has something to do with this. Let me start by saying that I don't believe that either President Bush, nor Senator Kerry are evil men. I believe they are both highly principled, but their principles directly involve taking away my rights from each side.
So I chose to vote for the only person who is claiming to change this. The Libertarian Party does not believe that the government is the answer...to any question. If you ask about the price of gas, healthcare, or milk, the availability of the flu shot, honest politicians, etc., government is not the answer. This was famous rhetoric from President Ronald Reagan that has been utterly lost on today's Republican Party.
The Democrats are fighting "rights" battles with more laws, more regulation, and more judges. Neither response is the correct one in my opinion. So I can vote for neither man. I don't feel compelled to vote for the most likely winner. I voted for the person whose values I hope rub off on future policians.
