I was told in 00, 02, 04, 06 and 08 to not vote 3rd because it was throwing my vote away. The stakes were too high to allow a certain party retain power etc. Didn't feel bad about voting 3rd back then and I won't in this election either.
The power of the different branches shifts from side to side, but the endless wars and relentless spending continues. I can't support that system.
However, I wil actually be voting for a Democrat even if there's a 3rd party candidate for US rep in my district. I have such a distaste for Souder he makes me want to vomit and I want him out of there. A rare change in my 3rd party voting trends.
