We are stuck with a two party system, for better or worse, Halx, and for that reason your Libertarian vote is meaningless. Republicans and Democrats disagree on lots of things, but they share a desire to keep third parties out of the game, much less fourth or fifth parties, and they have the money and political power to have their way. At most, a third party candidate can be a spoiler in a close race, eg, 2000.

I would be the first to concede that our political system is flawed, but until a better system can be proposed and peacefully implemented to fairly govern and preserve the freedoms of our 280 million plus population , I'll go cast my vote and accept the result, whether or not we end up with the guy I voted for.
