I'm not voting (ON EDIT: in this poll, I AM voting in the election, for Bush, I'm just not happy about it. Sorry 'bout the confusion. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima effin culpa!!!) , because none of the answers really suit me. Frankly, I don't like Bush much. But I REALLY loathe Kerry. I'm a registered Independent, and have voted for third party candidates several times. The last time I voted third party in the Presidential election was 1992. After that goatfuck, I stopped voting third party nationally, because IMHO the Democrats consistently do far more damage to us as a country than the Republicans are capable of. While I'm still generally a Libertarian, I can't vote Libertarian, and must approach it as a lesser of two evils kind of situation and vote accordingly. Bush isn't great, but Kerry will be an absolute, unmitigated disaster if he wins.

For the Libertarians out there who say "vote your conscience", I have to ask if you remember the 1990's as an adult, or if you are viewing it through the prism of childhood.
