[QUOTE="scratch, post: 81421, member: 1674"] Wkmac, I do like your idea about voting for "none of the above". This would be great if a majority of the voters went this way, and if they won, the two other candidates would have to step aside and their parties would be forced to come up with someone else! I have voted third party before, I voted for Ross Perot even though he dropped out, as a protest over who the Democrats and Republicans put up. Bill Clinton won his first term that year, with 49% of the vote. I believe strongly in less taxes and government, that is what originally got me to start voting for the GOP instead of the Democrats like I used too. While the Libertarians stand for that too, they also want too much freedom, by that I mean the legalization of drugs. This one item will keep most people away from them.
