An Alternative to Not Voting

[Guest]

If you've seen any of my posts over the past three years, you've seen that I refuse to vote because in the end, it doesn't matter who the president is - the special interests and the Mandarins will continue to pull the levers.

Yet, I was trying to think of a way to assuage my guilt over my deliberate refusal to use the franchise.

I've come up with a solution...

...I'll go to the booth, and I will write in the name "John McCain".

If you're going to the booth anyway, why not vote Badnarik!

Of course, you run the risk that if enough people also do that, then your vote won't be wasted but you'll still gain with the breaking of the "big 2 parties" assumed monopoly. You'll also gain with an ability to be more independent in your life for the next 4 years

So, you're saying that if Gore had been elected in 2000, we would've recieved federal tax cuts the last couple of years anyway? Do you think those cuts have had any effect on the economy, good or bad?

I say it does matter . . . at least a little.

There would have been an increase in spending, and revenues would have dropped even without the tax cut.

Of course, it's not like Bush showed much restraint in new spending either.

The Republican party has become the new party of Big Spending. Trouble is, the Democratic party has become the party of Even Bigger Spending.
