Indifferent Voters

Taken from the Political Campaign website for Daniel Lewis, a Libertarian candidate for US Senate for Tennessee.

"Indifferent Voters may believe that it doesn’t matter one way or the other who gets elected to the U.S. Senate. This is true, as long as a candidate from one of the two major parties keeps getting elected. The two major parties have stopped caring about the voters and sold out to special interests that fund their multi-million dollar campaigns. Your vote is of little value to them. They know that a majority will vote for either of the two major parties. The two major parties count on you voting for them by default.
Each time the government assumes a new power or begins to address a new problem, the influence of special interest groups becomes greater. The only way to break this cycle and begin making a difference when we vote is to break the monopoly held by the two major parties and significantly reduce the scope and power of government. Your freedom and liberty is too important to be taken over by the government and special interest groups."



I am constently confused by folks saying that they have to vote for either McCain or Obama on the grounds that "there has to be a change". Why is it believed that voting for either party is going to do anything except what "is" already. Most people are lazy when it comes to politics. They really have no clue what it is they are voting for or why. Until people take ownership and educate themselves, nothing will change. Until people stop voting for Republicans or Democrats, nothing is going to change.
