When I was 16, I decided that I was most like a Libertarian, but I realized that it was not a viable solution. My beliefs define me; my party membership does not. Most of my ideas are compatible with the Republican party, but no politician is perfect. No politician represents everything I believe, nor can any politician be reelected who pursues my priorities. In order to be elected, a politician must return money to the district, but I believe that politicians should refuse money--not good for votes.
I believe that in each election, I must vote for the person most fit to lead--not refuse to participate. In the last election, did I believe that Romney was the perfect person? No, of course not, but it did not stop me from voting for him because I believe Obama is the devil incarnate.
Vote for Gary Johnson? Gary Johnson needs to demonstrate that he has a basis of support before I go into the voting booth and cast my vote for him or any other Libertarian. Show me a new party that shares my principles and can garner double digit percentages. Then I will join ranks.
