You are off the hook because I am part of "everyone"" and I would never vote libertarian or any other third party because it is throwing away your vote.
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.
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.
Ross Perot insured that Bill Clinton became President with just 43% of the vote. Not even a majority.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Why not? Thoughts? |
No, because I just don't want to.

There isn't any real difference between the two. A vote for Romney is a vote for more of the same tired garbage.

Re: Be Libertarian with me:
For me, I'm so disappointed in both Obama and Romney... I can't vote for either of them. At least I see principles in the Libertarian Party that I can agree with.

I strongly disagree with that. I truly believe BO is not an American and EVERYTHING he has done has been to bring America down.
Romney is not my choice either, but to vote anyone else would hand BO 4 more years. As I heard a caller say this week, these past 3 1/2 years have been "light" BO years because he wants another 4 years. He has lied about everything he promised 4 years ago, and he wants to be a dictator so bad he can't stand not having it. He says while running he doesn't have the power to give amnesty to the illegals and turns around and does it with executive powers. He has gone overboard with that.
Do you honestly think voting for anyone besides Romney will keep BO from winning?
Do you honestly think Romney would be as bad as BO has been? If so, how so.

Re: Be Libertarian with me:
Not to rain on the discussion here, but *we* don't elect the President anyway. The Electoral College does.
All this 'we gotta vote for So-And-So' seems kinda silly when you realise *we* don't elect those guys to begin with.
Party Primary elections, of course, are different. But the 'general election' is pretty much just a feel-good exercise in 'convincing ourselves we have the final say-so' when in reality we don't.
Just my $.02 ($.002 adjusted for inflation).
