They suck, but they might get my vote just because of my dissatisfaction with a two party system.

Same here. Everyone always complains about the two party system, but they'll never "throw their vote away" by helping a third party get 5% of the vote (which means federal matching funds).

People still believe this crap? Don't throw your vote away by voting for the Democrats or Republicans.  Unless you want to vote for Dennis Kucinich, he is not harsh.

If it were not such a close election, I would vote libertarian. But because it is so close, I'm voting against McCain.

Hopefully the next election isn't so close and then I can vote libertarian so they can get financing for the following election.

As long as we keep enforcing this ridiculous system of democracy, we're going to keep having 'close' elections. Theres no better time than the present.

stfu you obviously know nothing. first off as socrates once said, republic > democracy. secondly there are more third parties other than those who believe in dictatorships.....i also like how you put words in his mouth about Bush....pretty much a failed post

That kind of reasoning is why we are still stuck in this "two" party system, which is actually only one party, the party of the rich and powerful.  Make your vote count for real, which means don't vote for the corporate meat puppets obama and mccain.
