An anti-Bush vote cannot be considered a lazy or reckless way of voting. I've cast a few of my presidential votes for third party candidates-voting my conscience and knowing full well that my vote was for all practical purposes meaningless. If I vote for John Kerry this year it will not only be an anti-Bush vote, it will also be anti-Cheney, anti-Rumsfeld, anti-Ashcroft, anti-Condy Rice, anti-Wolfowitz and anti-Karl Rove. I don't believe, in my heart, that this group of neo-conservatives has the ability to move this country forward. I'm very knowledgable of Kerry's weak Senate record-my wife is a passionate Democrat, we argue politics everyday. I'm extremely frustrated to not have a "great" candidate to vote for, but at this point will probably cast a vote for Kerry as I live in a "battleground" state and can't stomach the alternative. I don't think I'll live long enough to see any changes in our political system, but I don't feel that the two party system serves us well anymore. Candidates outside the realm of Democrats and Republicans can't muster the financial resources to compete.
