No, I am not Libertarian. I am a vexed Christian, though, who must risk put Shrillary in office by voting for someone like Huckabee.

It would definitely be nice if everybody would actually vote for what they believe in instead of for who is "electable."
If that were the case, the main Democrats would be Kucinich and Gravel (though some would support Edwards) and the main Republicans would be Paul and Huckabee with a small amount going for Giuliani.
The best thing to do would be if everybody would stop trying to force their beliefs on others through the federal government and we just returned things to the state level so that liberal states can be liberal and conservative states can be conservative without trying to force it on others.

i think if you are not a democrat you will want to vote for the person in the republican party who has the best chance of winning and of the top two contenders available to vote for at election time... we should vote for the one most likely to do the better job. That way all the votes really will count.
We can focus on getting better candidates in the Republican, Independants, and Democratic party next presidential race so that we have a fair and balanced group of people who could work for the people in America and do a good job.
They need to exclude Skhillary, Osoma, and the other democrats running this year and get some decent people in there that are not hate spewers and liars and power grubbing people.
We need people what this country was founded for and did do properly up until the last 40 years or so... be a leader who is run by the people not by the money they can push into their pockets (through scheming and favor swapping) like these runners do.

Doesn't matter who you vote for and for why. Just vote what you want. It is just wise to choose the best candidate that is likely to win, who has the best values. This narrows the odds, use good common sense, this is how we stay out of trouble.

I think you've hit the million dollar question.
I don't know when we as a nation will begin voting for the person we agree with rather than the person the media wants us to agree with. It's a sad state of affairs.

As soon as possible, I hope.
I started voting independent in 2000 when I refused to tow the party line and support Bush.
My guy didn't win, but that doesn't mean I wasted my vote.

I am struggling with the same question. It's frustrating to think that we will be forced to pick between the lesser of two evils instead of choosing someone we can really get behind, who truly believes what I believe.

One must never take such a risk. If you have to write in your vote.

Whoever you vote for, the government wins.

The system would have to be changed for that to work.

That's for every voter to decide for themselves. You're free to cast your vote however you please, for whatever reasons are important to you. Even if your candidate doesn't win, every vote does count.
