"I looked at the libertarian candidate, but frankly he didn't seem like someone who could lead our country. " Sadly, the Libertarian candidate is often someone who is totally ideological and doesn't have a pragmatic bone in their body.

All the world leaders knew Kerri was a zero, a take both sides no balls politican. They would have used him like a old whore. Kerri had no plan for anything, he's a mental midget. A 'D' student in school. His cabinet would have been tax raising socialists

I looked at the libertarian candidate, but frankly he didn't seem like someone who could lead our country. Kerri had a lot of great ideas for where we needed to go, including a decent energy policy. Plus, he was a man who could rebuild America's image around the world. Sure Kerri is a Democrat, but that doesn't make him a bad candidate. That's really the problem with American politics and why John says the system is broken. Everyone just votes for one party or another. What they should be doing is look at the man and see if he'd be a good leader. Then look at his policies and determine if you'd buy into them. At least a third of the country is made up of independents who don't see much of a choice. Kerry is fine and I voted for him, but I would like to see someone who is less political and more independent in his/her thinking. That's why I like Feingold but he is so non partisan, he can only get elected in maverick states like WI and MN. CJ and JF want a third party and I don't disagree with that notion, but I am afraid that a third party right now would only allow the people around Bush to stay in power.
