Well, Pied Piper, that's exactly why I don't vote any party line.

I vote for the indys no matter what. Green party if I can, but if not, whomever is the independent (I.E. Libertarian). And if there's none of them, I vote against the encumbent.

Last night was a pain in the ass. I felt ill to begin with, and had to dodge all the "here's the Dem/Rep ticket...vote what we tell you" people. It's hard to dodge when your speed is turtle slow.

All in all, I am glad I went, though. I do consider it a priviledge that I am allowed to do so, and that, in order to protect that priviledge, I have to exercise it.
