I voted for Badnarik, the Libertarian candidate. Was it a wasted vote? NO! There's no such damend thing. If everyone actually voted their conscience... voted for the person they felt was TRULY best for the job (i.e.- not the guy with the best hair, or the most money, or the coolest commericals) then we wouldn't have such an issue with partisanship.

Very true one must vote their conscience, that's why in '00 I voted Nader.
However, with a 3rd party president, we'd see both parties ganging up on the "invader". You think the last 2 presidencies have been full of mud slinging, nothing truly getting accomplished and divisiveness? Wait till you get a third party president...... and there WILL be one within the next 12-20 years, unless the partisanship ends and politics returns somewhat civil again.
