Voting principles over party is NEVER throwing away your vote. For example... let's say you have Nero, Caligula, and George Washington running for election. Now, Nero and Caligula are candidates of the two major parties. We all know that as of right now... either Nero or Caligula will win. However, do you vote with a "party" to win??? Or do you vote your principles and therefore vote for George Washington because he truly stands for what you believe in???? Would that vote be "throwing away your vote"??? I don't think so.
Oh... at one time the Republicans were a third party.

Those that voted for Ross Perot in 1992 gave the Presidential election to a man where there was an audio tape of him urging Jennifer Flowers, one of the women he had an affair with, to "just keep quiet" telling her that if they didn't talk no one could prove anything.

Nope. Those who voted for Clinton gave the election to him. If everyone voted for the principles that truly made America great... they'd have voted for Ross Perot.

It was amazing to me at the time that America would elect someone who it was proven was lying to them before they even voted for him.

Well, they were not enchanted with the Republican candidate and people made them afraid that they'd "throw away their vote" if they didn't vote for either a D or an R.

Ross Perot insured that Bill Clinton became President with just 43% of the vote. Not even a majority.

Nope. The American people's stupidity did. If they would have rejected Clinton for principles Clinton wouldn't have won.
As I see it... one can vote Libertarian or vote for "Obamney 2012".
