From my perspective though, I can't support candidates who are so blatently dishonest, not to mention that I really don't think the republican or democratic parties take their philosophies to their logical conclusions.

I believe it can be about voting for the best person, or voting against the best person, or sending a protest vote, or finding that third party that fits your way of thinking. I hope the Libertarian party gets a lot of votes today and some press, too, but we all know that isn't likely. I agree that working for a third party is more than just hoping and voting. It's more than one day every four years. I'm all for the major party vote and the third party vote.
I don't agree that every third party should be elevated above the major parties just because they are smaller.
I also do not agree that people who vote rep. or dem. either for their guy or against the other guy have thrown away their self-respect or lack any dignity. I'm sorry, that is just insulting to millions of people. It's small-minded, self-important garbage.
