Reply #9: Sorry, but there's a real big problem with third-party voting here. [View All]

It's for this reason to me that the GREEN Party = Getting Republicans Elected Every November.

The voting machine does not calculate voting against candidates:
It cannot NOT record votes AGAINST a particular candidate - it only records votes FOR.

Example:
33% of the vote for a Democrat
33% of the vote for Green Party, Nader, Ron Paul, etc.
34% of the vote for a Republikkkan

does NOT equal 66% against the Republikkkan - it means 34% FOR the Republikkkan.
In a 3-way tie, the Republikkkan would win, because the 33% of the vote going to a 3rd party are the votes that are not going to the Democrat to defeat the Republikkkan.

Sorry, but there is no room for vanity voting in this general election. Or staying home and not voting.
You either vote to continue another 4 years of incompetence and repression with a McCain, or you vote to get rid of the Republikkkans and replace with Obama and/or Clinton, however imperfect they are. Either one would have far more competence for the job and will choose better-qualified people for the Cabinet and other positions.
