"August words" (C.S.Lewis)

[fpb]

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness; that to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

Many stay "loyal" because they find the party across the aisle still less palatable than the one they voted in. Others either go apathetic or defect to the Libertarian Party (neutral secular) or Constitution Party (vociferously evangelical Christian), both with the same essential result.

If I hadn't been absolutely certain Bush was going to beat Gore, then I'd've voted for Bush. It wouldn't have been to support the Republicans as it would have been to defeat the Democrats. I, however, am libertarian -- possibly borderline anarchist.
