Jed, I don't really know... why vote Republican if your party has a candidate? I know, I know, "no third-party candidate has a snowball's chance of winning." Well, yeah, especially if people don't vote for them......I guess the Libertarian idea of taking personal responsibility for your own freedom is just a little too hard for a lot of folks to handle. :)But the fact is, freedom and responsibility go hand in hand, something our litigious society seems to have overlooked these last few years.
