Any ol' 3rd party is fine.  Libertarian or any environmental party
would be my choice, but since they won't win anything major it doesn't
matter this time around.  The main thing is to vote for something, so 
people won't mistake your distaste for apathy.

The reason why I flamed Reagan was because I was sick of
self-proclaimed "libertarians" telling me why I should vote
Republican.  Sorry if I pissed anyone off.

As it stands I doubt I'll vote Democratic either, although I might
if Bush wins the Republican nomination.  If anyone wants to know why
I hate Bush, go back and look at some of the things he said in '80 and
'84.  'Nuff of that for this group...

BTW, what I meant to say before was that Federal spending as a % of
GNP has increased from 21% in 1980 to 23.5% in 1987(?).  This is 
in spite of a "boom" economy (less welfare, etc.)  Someone pointed
out that I was previously unclear on this point, so I thought I'd
repeat it.
