I'm gonna call a bullshit card on your bullshit card. I have serious issues with the R party, primarily on the social issues. So I've been voting (L) and skipping primaries as an independent. There are other issues out there than guns! Guns looked like another third rail so I could safely say neither side represented me. I got bent over too.
I've said this here before:
The (R) want you to live a perfect life according to God.
The (D) want you to live a perfect life according to the greater good.
Neither side is willing to say if you arent hurting anyone, do whatever you want. (and define that pretty broadly) So I voted for neither of them.
Even Adam Smith the guys that all the libertarians like to cite for economic theory wrote a whole book on how capitalism must be regulated by gov. Heck his quote that every single conservative likes to quote ad nauseum about the invisible hand... no more than a few sentences before argues against free trade. Any system without checks and balances will never work.
You fall for lies on the Internet easily. Just because you read what you want doesn't mean the one typing isnt lying. Just read the first post. Someone is lying. One is a confirmed liberal anti gun piece of shit Colorado elected official. The other is a self proclaimed liberal who claims to like guns and admis to voting for Obama. I am hopeful he is seeing some shed of light, but a whole lot more learning needs to take place before I start believing a post he types.
A vote for an independent is a vote for a democrat. Independents tend to appeal to the more extreme ends of the spectrum of the right. They just pull good votes away from what is the lesser of two evils. I'm pathologically Libertarian, yet I wouldn't dream of voting anything other than Republican with the current state of affairs.

this will give us all the freedom to vote for who we WANT to win and then chose to vote against people/party for the next round.
