1. while i do very seriously agree about the far right being very seriously misguided on many issues, calling them "conservative douchebags", is probably not the way to go, especially as you are a libertarian...and libertarianism contains a very large helping of conservatism, at least in the way it has come to be designated these days. You cannot be a libertarian without holding many values in common with conservatives, like it or not. (I say that as a liberal libertarian myself)
2. If you are a libertarian, why are you not voting libertarian? If there ever was a time when 3rd parties needed to be heard, it is now that the republicans and democrats have finally brought us face to face with looking into the abyss of ruin.
3. Why would you change your registration to democrat? You do not have to register as a democrat to vote for Obama. Why would you register as member of one of the two corrupt, despicable, broken political machines that are ruining this country?
If you want to vote for Obama, then do so, but why become a democrat in the process?
4. Your choice isn't between two men. there are other candidates on the ballot. They may not win, but there are other choices.
5. If american lives depend on Barack Obama, then our country is already lost.
Our lives depend on voting out of office, through our political process, the same two corrupt, short-sighted, wild spending, incompetent, partisan, despicable political parties represented by Barack Obama and John McCain, who do nothing but bicker, steal, and subvert our nation with waste, incompetence, pork barrel spending and a dearth of new ideas.
If you want true change, neither of these candidates offer it.
Also, if Ron Paul was your choice, wouldn't it make sense to choose someone closer in ideals to him (i.e. Libertarian) instead of someone who is virtually totally opposite to all his positions? (Obama)
