"Vote Cthulu - why settle for the lesser of evils?"

"Vote Cthulu - why settle for the lesser of evils?" - but that's all you're doing isn't it? Choosing the guy who can keep Bush/Kerry out depending on who you fear the most. Is anyone actually voting on your principles?
Conservatives
- is Bush really pro-life in a meaningful sense?
- Is he a true fiscal conservative?
- Patriot Act anyone?
- What about you isolationist types - wars around the globe huh?
- Clamping down on 'illegals' is he?
- Second Amendment freedoms - where's that 'assault weapon'?
'Liberals' (for want of a better word)
- Kerry's looking a bit of an ass huh?
- What's he going to do about 'assault weapons' and the 2A - preserving your freedoms huh?
- and on and on, you get my point.
To you all
First of all, how many of you identified yourselves as 'conservative' or 'liberal' when reading this? Why did you do that? How many of you identified yourselves as Republican or Democrat? Why did you do that?
Do the political parties as they are really suit your wants and needs? Bush is no fiscal conservative and the Democrats are not going to hand you universal healthcare. It's a two horse race and the two parties know it.
If you are vaguely anti-Democrat the Republicans feel they can count on your vote regardless of your views on Bush, the economy or the WOT. The reverse is true.
Why are you sticking to this rigid definition of politics as a bipolar affair? Why settle for the lesser of two evils? Why vote Democrat just to get rid of Bush if you can't stand Kerry and think he will be a disaster? Why vote Bush just to keep the Democrats out.
"I've always voted Republican, just like my father and his father before him."
"I'm from California of course I vote Democrat, they deport you otherwise."
Definition of insanity - doing what you've always done expecting to get different results this time.
The moral - screw the two parties, they're in cahoots to keep it partisan and bipolar, vote on your conscience. If you feel that the Libertarians/WackoSocialist Party are closest to your views and needs - vote for them. It isn't "throwing your vote away" - if we all think like that and settle for the lesser of evils or don't vote then we have thrown our votes away because we have changed nothing.

Imagine a six hundred foot tall, slightly less huggable version of the plushie that eats souls. That's Cthulhu. It's from the novels by H.P. Lovecraft.
LG You're a lovecraft fan?

Read the last paragraph again.
By not voting you doom yourself to the above definition of insanity. Lots of people don't vote - nothing gets changed.

No offence intended Jim.
You think I should change the title? Kinda hoping for some rational discourse, but then this is NS General. There is a reason why I haven't posted here for about six months. Take that as a challenge if you will.

Fair enough.
You are looking for the lessor evil in the presidential elections I take it? Well they are all professional polititians and there is no lesser evil. They are all the same.

Why would anyone vote for Cthulhu? The other candidate would have to be Hitler.
