EVEN LEW ROCKWELL AGREES! DON'T WASTE YOUR VOTE!
The Only Choice on November 6th
by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.
The critical problem we face today is the same one all mankind has faced: the State, those monopolists who claim the right to break the laws that they make and enforce. How to restrain them is the critical problem of all sound political thinking. Making matters worse, this gang now has a monopoly on the money and the ability to print it, and they are abusing that power at our expense.
How does voting change the situation? Neither of the candidates for president wants to do anything about the problem. On the contrary, they want to make it worse. This is for a reason. The State owns the “democratic process” as surely as it owns the Departments of Labor and Defense and uses it in ways that benefit the State and no one else.
On the other hand, we do have the freedom not to vote. No one has yet drafted us into the voting booth. I suggest that we exercise this right not to participate. It is one of the few rights we have left. Nonparticipation sends a message that we no longer believe in the racket they have cooked up for us, and we want no part of it.
You might say that this is ineffective. But what effect does voting have? It gives them what they need most: a mandate. Nonparticipation helps deny that to them. It makes them, just on the margin, a bit more fearful that they are ruling us without our consent. This is all to the good. The government should fear the people. Not voting is a good beginning toward instilling that fear.
This year especially there is no lesser of two evils. There is socialism or fascism. The true American spirit should guide every voter to have no part of either.

We live in the age of electronic vote fraud. Does not matter if you vote or not, they can make up whatever number they wish, increase the voter turnout numbers, they pick who wins and looses and by how much. Generally they do a close race so the vote fraud is not questioned.

Imagine a world where only two candidates have two votes, and they were the only two votes there actually were recorded, both for themselves....
I refuse to cast any vote for the greater evil Vs. the Greater Evil.

They were talking about this on the radio. They estimate 90 million Americans will not vote in this election. They warned however that this will give Obama a landslide victory.

Just an fyi about the guy, Lew said 9/11 happened because our country is evil and God was laying his vengeance upon us (paraphrasing).
