Why Even an Anarchist Should Vote for Ron�Paul by Thomas E. Woods, Jr.:

"I know a lot of people who, rightly appalled at the immoral political system we live under, conclude that it would be morally wrong to vote, or at least that they themselves will not do so, because they would thereby be consenting to the system. This includes voting for Ron Paul.
