Believe it or not, I'm still a bit "undecided." I've been struggling between Peroutka and Badnarik for awhile now.
Dems and Republicans need not reply, as I already know the arguments - and you already know why some of us won't vote for Bush or Kerry. I would like to keep this thread constructive.
So, for you third party voters out there, can you tell me why you've picked Constitution or Libertarian (or even Green if any are out there)?
At present, I think I'm voting Constitution Party, but I really do like Bandarik. Both favor a strict construction of the Constitution. What is swinging my vote is the acknowledgment of God's blessing by the Constitution Party. And the Libertarian Party itself is split on abortion - but I believe Bandarik is against it because unborn babies also have rights.
Finally, I think that the Libertarian Party philosophy extends to the state level, while the Constitution Party leaves states with the rights granted by the Ninth Amendment. For example, I think I'm correct that the Libertarian Party wants drugs legalized even at the state level, while the Constitution Party doesn't. while I'm personally against any war on drugs, I don't mind if this is left to the state's as people can always vote with their feet.
So, I'm open to suggestions and still could be converted at the last moment.
I'm sorry to post this in the main forum, but if I threw in the political thread, any constructive comments would likely come too late.

P.S. I'm a libertarian with a small "l", and not a member of any political party.
