Why voting for the Libertarian Party isn't throwing away your vote...

[fly]

So I found out yesterday why we all need to vote Libertarian this year. If Bob Barr can grab 5% of the vote, then the government will be forced to recognize the party and will be required to split the federal funds given out for elections three ways. In effect, we become a three party system!

So especially if you are in a state where your preferred candidate is a surefire win, why not try to get another party's foot in the door? Vote Bob Barr, not for Bob Barr (because he's not going to win), but for the future!

I wasn't going to vote at all, because I don't like either candidate, but this is enough to get me to the polls! What say you eff?

Voting anything in my state is throwing my vote away, so why not?

I may have to look into this, being as McCain is from Arizona, he probably has this state anyway.

I was already planning to vote libertarian without knowing that. Only by enough people voting outside of the two parties can we eventually have any real changes in our government.

I was just gonna do a write in for "Inanimate Carbon Rod"

I find it ironic that someone that mocked Ron Paul in the primaries is now going to vote Libertarian.

Being from Georgia and having dealt with Barr before, there's no way in hell I'd vote for him. Most Libertarians are now revolting against Barr as well.

Throw away your vote hippie.

There is no way Barr will get anything out of it but maybe the party will.

that's definitely true. his platform was all economic iirc, this would be the perfect october crisis to get him in.

So why the Libertarians huh? Are you being paid by the Libertarian party? Why not the World Socialist Party of the United States or the Modern Whig Party?

Dana Carvey did some great political impressions. Perot, Bush, Strom Thurmon.

Cause we already have two Socialist parties... But good point on the Whig Party.
