Yep.  I voted for Badnarik.  I couldn't see voting for death by  
firing squad vs. death by lethal injection.   Since 9/11 and although  
I am certainly not a registered Democrat, I have occasionally sent  
leaders to various Democrat party leaders pleading with them to take  
stands that would differentiate their party from that of the pseudo- 
Republican neocons.  I received nothing but mealy mouth excuses and  
the kind of "reasons" I see on CNN back.   This led me to the  
conclusion that what is really going on is that almost all of the  
federal politicos are reading from the same play book for reasons  
they have not bothered to share with the public.   I could take some  
guesses what those reasons are.  In the meantime I see no point in  
casting votes in federal elections.
