There's always the Green Party. Especially at the grassroots level.

If you can't do something smart, do something right.

Geezer,

good idea.

I was thinking of voting republican anyway, even though the good candidates were weeded out and I know there's no chance of winning. So all I have left is a couple of openly pro-Bush republicans doing 20s and 30s in the polls. Faso seem like a good guy, but has no more chance of winning than the others.

FMF

no, it wouldn't.

think clinton. think a clinton step worse than bush sr., only that size step worse than bush jr.

in terms of total death, alone that's a frightening thought.

The only real election is the primary. if dems put up russ feingold in o8 i'll vote for them. if they put up a clinton, i won't.


Zisker,

sometimes i vote for the greens. they're loons, and socialists, and i disagree with about 2/3 of what they say. Malachy is a loon. but at least he has a cool accent. But i'd like a sane candidate who actually has a plan to bring peace and prosperity, and some chance of getting elected. I don't think the greens fit the bill on any of those, but if i really get annoyed i might pull that level anyways.

We must be aware of very different candidates. But at least the Greens haven't proven to be rampant hypocrites with solely self-serving agendas once they get into office.

If you can't do something smart, do something right.

I don't get to vote for your government but I get affected by their f**ked up decisions.
