I am voting third party. I agree with the 7 principles on the lower right of the page. Both traditional party candidates have destructive fiscal policy. Citizens of a society must have the freedom to fail as well as succeed. If a society allows able-bodied people to make bad choices and escape natural consequence or even to try to make life "fair" by taking from one group and giving to another then the whole society will eventually fall.
Alina posted a very thought provoking article on Prop 8 in California. It is so important that it passes, it has ramifications for the whole country.
Cocoa(Alina's friend) wrote a wonderful essay on a topic that is the first thing I look at when deciding on a candidate. If one makes the choice to engage in activity that has the potential to produce life, it is morally wrong for that person to destroy that life to escape responsibility. Anytime there is an attempt to escape responsibilty in any arena of life it wounds the spirit.

Oh, I so love when you blog frequently. You have such great insights. Down with Halloween!!! Julie
A vote for a third party is a vote for Obama. Grandpa would not like this.
Hi Wayne-
I understand your point and if Sarah Palin were running for president, I would vote for her. I have to vote my conscience- my vote is an important stewardship. I can not vote for someone who wants to enact economic policy that will enslave my children. I can't morally do it. Cap and trade/green house emissions? It is a disaster. Buying people's mortages? People in a society that is in decline tend to tribalize- usually by skin color but this counrty is doing it by politcal party. I have to vote FOR someone because i agree with their ideas not because I am voting AGAINST the other candidate. I wish your team luck on Tuesday.
