It's working for me now:
Be principled and vote Gary Johnson and Judge Jim Gray on the Libertarian ticket. Gary has a proven track record of vetoing spending as NM Governor - he vetoed over 700 pieces of legislation, more than all other governors combined. He is the necessary anti-spend candidate - most people don't know that by 2025 the entire federal budget will be consumed by a combination of entitlements and interest on the debt (and that's an optimistic projection...). There won't be a penny left for the most basic function of the federal government - defense.
Do you think you should vote for the lesser of two evils and vote Romney over Obama? That's a strategy of winning a battle but losing the war. When you vote evil, you convince the powers that be that all they EVER have to offer you is evil b/c they know they'll have your vote. Look what that strategy has gotten you Republicans. Nixon enacted wage and price controls and killed the gold standard. Reagan had great rhetoric but spent like a drunken sailor. Bush Sr. raised taxes. Bob Dole supported Obamacare. Bush Jr. spent like a drunken sailor. McCain voted for the bailout and wanted a stimulus (just not the same one as Obama). Do you honestly think Romney, whose MA advisers actually went on to help craft Obamacare, will be any different? He doesn't even want to repeal it. In his own words he wants to "repeal the bad and keep the good".
And it's ironic, but the greater of two evils - Obama, would actually be preferable to Romney as president. Why? Because when Republicans have one of their own in the White House, they always raise the white flag when it comes to spending and limited government. Why weren't the Republicans hell bent against Bush Care - the expensive prescription drug benefit, when Bush Jr. was in office? If John Kerry had been elected, I guarantee the GOP would have voted it down simply b/c a Democrat was in office. If liberal Obama is elected instead of liberal Romney, at least there will be more deadlock simply because of party politics.
