Added this first paragraph!!: Go to VOTESMART.ORG its a nonpartisan website dedicated to give you 100% non biased facts. It has biographies, speeches, positions on the issues, prior voting records, and more....you can search any politician. Please educate yourselves before you vote.


ESPECIALLY for the presidency!!! Do your research on the small/ third party candidates and vote for the one you agree with most!!! This year of all years it is NOT throwing away your vote!! Tell all your friends and family to do the same thing!!!

I can't believe WOMEN are willing to vote for a man who wants incestual rapists to be able to sue their victim if she seeks an abortion!!! What if that girl is only 8 or 9??? So many girls are starting periods at very young ages this is NOT improbable!!!

So you don't like Obamas policy, does that REALLY make Romney the better option?? REALLY?!?!?


And PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF WHAT EVER YOU BELIEVE IN!!! don't simply skip voting because you can't support either of the big party candidates!!!!

I think this is what the OP was talking about. A quick google search of paul ryan bill to allow rapist to sue victim over abortions bring quite a few hits.

Yes! I am voting 3rd party because I am voting for a candidate I believe in. If more people did so we may actually change politics as usual here.

In a two-party system like ours, even though it's broken, voting third party is fairly pointless. It's too rigged. Look at what happened to Ron Paul and Gary Johnson (not that I endorse either). They get railroaded straight out of the race.
