voting for a 3rd. party this year is like castrating yourself to spite an ex wife or girlfriend.
I'm sorry, that doesn't even make any sense. Perhaps you can elaborate on the analogy, or just, stop using it. Its a little disgusting.
Maybe now I understand why so many right wing guys can never get dates, they won't settle for anyone that isn't 100% perfect, and that leads to a life of being lonely.
Doot doot de doo... ad hominem.
If you're referring to the libertarians here, hot tip: libertarianism doesn't fit the left/right one dimensional scale, so we're not "right wing"
Just ask yourself, if you were a judge (with your views on issues) would you stand a better chance of being placed on a federal court position by Bush or Kerry!
Hello? Didn't we mention the fact that we're libertarian? Neither of them would ever put someone who supported constitutional rights into a court. Thats the whole point, here.
I'm basing it on the judicial nominees that he has appointed to the circuit courts that have been getting stonewalled by the Democrats because they are too conservative.
Too conservative, or because they are being appointed by a Republican president, and the two parties like to squabble like small children?
Stonewalling people who are too conservative sounds good to me. Stonewalling people who are too liberal sounds good, also. How about we stonewall everyone who is an extremist until we're just down to nice constitutional centrists?
If you were going to vote for Kerrry, then by all means, vote Libertarian.
Oh some more of the totally fallacious reasoning, come on.
But give Bush the benefit of the doubt if you are trying to decide between him and someone who has no prayer to get elected.
Benefit of the doubt? You say that like we have no idea what to expect from Bush.
We've been watching the guy for more than three years now, it seems like we've got a pretty clear idea what he is up to.
You guys keep going at it like Libertarians are simply wayward Republicans, who need to be abused back into towing the party line. If you'd stop and look at what the parties are actually doing these days, rather than what they
say they're doing and stand for, you'd realize that Republicans have a hell of a lot more in common with Democrats than Libertarians have with either of them.
Do I care if Kerry beats Bush, or vice versa? No way. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. We're screwed just as thoroughly either way, from where I'm standing. Trying to entice us to make sure that Kerry loses only makes sense if you continue to persist in the delusion that the Republican position is somehow more palatable to Libertarians than the Democrat position.
They're both equally intolerable. You might as well ask us whether we'd like to die from a bullet wound to the left side of the skull, or the right side.
You might consider looking at
The Political Compass. In particular, note how close together all the Democratic candidates are to Bush. Then realize that Libertarians are at the very bottom edge of the graph. Look at how much closer Kerry is to Bush, than either one of them are to the Libertarian position. It makes as much sense to ask us to pick one (or care about which one wins!) as it does for me to ask you to decide whether or not you'd rather have Al Sharpton or Dennis Kuicinich as President. They're not identical, but they're so far away from your position (which I'm betting is awfully close to Bush's, if not further up the scale) that the difference is entirely negligable.
