I see it as being morally and intellectually consistent with my own belief system. Or as they say, voting ones conscience. My vote for Johnson, should I cast it, helps Johnson and the cause of Libertarianism first and foremost. How it effects Obama and Romney is of little import to me, I reject the "lesser of two evils" idea.
I don't see it in the pragmatic way you do. As I see it, my beliefs lose under either an (R) or (D) almost equally, albeit in different ways. My nose is fine either way.
I respect that you feel differently.
