From my position, right on top of the fence I suppose, I can clearly see both parties being shitty to about an equal extent. Of course, my guys never do anything bad.

Does anyone else find what sludge Preechr's been spewing lately rather laughable? You sound like Marty, telling us that he knows our system is fucked and that we're all stupid to choose between "these two morons". Seriously, Preechr, I don't think you're going to find a single person on this board who thinks that either party is infallible, by any means. Even Ronnie's admitted in the past that the Neocon's don't share the same agenda as earlier republicans (maybe not in as many words, but he's done it). Just because we identify practicality and would rather vote for a candidate who's not a completely useless runner doesn't mean we actually fully favor their politics or practices.
Voting libertarian (or green party, or what have you) is an exercise in futility, and it's detrimental to the elections at this point. I really don't like admitting it but in November '04 anyone who doesn't pick Bush or Kerry might as well light their ballot card on fire and then piss on the first person who asks why they're doing it.
I'm so fucking sick of people backing alternative parties this year. All you're doing is taking votes away from one party or the other. You're not making a point, you're making a mistake.
