The lesser evil

The single man out of the many running for national office in 2004 who actually cares about true liberty and American freedom as it was intended by the Founding Fathers - is this year's Libertarian presidential candidate, Michael Badnarik. Go to the campaign web site and read more about Mr. Badnarik's qualifications and viewpoints for yourself. And then consider very carefully the following:

Argument: If you don't vote for the lesser evil, the greater evil may win!
Answer:Yes, it might. But you'll be able to sleep at night knowing that you didn't vote for evil at all. (It should also help you to note that the lesser evil isn't really all that much lesser any more...)

Argument: If you vote for a third party candidate, you'll waste your vote.
Answer: If you don't vote for the candidate of your conscience, you have wasted your vote no matter who wins.

Argument: If Michael Badnarik gets too many votes, George W. Bush might lose.
Answer: If Michael Badnarik gets so many votes he has a real impact on this year's elections, then there will be - finally! - real credibility for third party candidates, and the respect to go along with it that will be extraordinarily valuable in future elections.

and just for a moment, dare to consider:

If every single American who is tired of voting for the lesser of evils actually voted for the candidate of his or her choice, Michael Badnarik would stand a chance at being far more than a mere spoiler in these elections. He could be a contender. Want to make history with a pro-freedom revolution via the ballot box rather than bloodshed? Inhale the spirit of the Founding Fathers, and have the courage to vote against an overreaching government and for freedom. Vote for Michael Badnarik. At worst, an important point will have been made. At best? Someone's going to win this year's elections, and it would be a truly glorious day if it were all of those who love liberty who came out ahead in the end because Michael Badnarik came out ahead in the polls.
