I do not think Pat said he was not voting.

The article is very interesting and makes some good points.

The pathetic attempt to get voters to the polls:

How an unpopular choice can win an election for president when a half way decent choice arises from the ranks of Libitarian or more along my thoughts a F. Ross Perot pops up. My Aunt and Uncle campaigned for the first time in their life for Perot and when he didn't even come close, they swore off voting.

Quote:
First, voting is futile. It would be a mathematical miracle if our vote actually decided the result of an election. And aren't we all told, when we contemplate voting for a Libertarian or a Nader, that doing so is "wasting our vote" because the third party candidate "can't win"? This means causing a victory is the only way not to waste your vote.
