Very nice lens. You've given a great overview of some third party options. No matter which political party you belong to, you need to make your vote count. I'd love for you to stop by my lens and say hello when you get the chance. Posted August 30, 2008 |

Many people I talk to often vote for the lesser of two evils. However the winner claims those votes as votes FOR him or her. Other people don't vote at all because they don't like anyone enough to go to the polls for. Too many people just don't care enough to bother deciding which crook (for so the candidates often seem) to vote against or seeing what other issues are on the ballot Posted May 12, 2008 |
