panda's Journal: Why I am planning to vote for Michael Bandnarik.

All I can tell the "lesser of two evils" folks is that if they keep
voting for evil, they'll keep getting evil. If you don't like the way
things are, how do you change it by voting for more of the same?

Those two sentences from U.S. presidential candidate Michael
Badnarik convinced me that to vote for him in this November's
U.S. general election would not be a wasted vote. For quite a while
since he was announced as the Libertarian Party's nominee for
president, I had been waivering on casting my vote for him or for
Senator Kerry. The reason that I waivered was that I do not want to
see President Bush get re-elected, and while I'm not too fond of Kerry
either, I had thought that casting my vote for the "lesser of two
evils" was better than throwing it away on a third-party candidate
with no real chance of winning. However, Michael Badnarik's words
above convinced me that voting my conscience is indeed the right thing
to do.
