This is sad.

It is, I'm not going to argue that at all, but that's the reality of the system with two parties having an absolute monopoly over it. Ross Perot was the last viable third party candidate and he didn't even break double digits. I spoke my mind in the primaries and voted Paul. Had Obama been Clinton I would probably go third party, but I'm sorry I'm of the firm belief that this country can't afford four more years of Obama. I vote primarily Republican not because I'm a die hard R, it's just they are the only real alternative to the D's. I was hoping the Tea Party would help a third party emerge, but sadly it was hijacked both inside and out.

Now if polling data comes out that have Johnson or Paul actually gaining steam I'd gladly reconsider, but that is highly unlikely.

So you're saying it's more of a referendum on Obama?

The Obama campaign is right, and the Romney campaign is wrong. It's shouldn't be a referendum election, because a referendum election is exactly what got Obama elected in the first place. There is always somebody worse out there.

This election should be a choice: one that should lead a grip of people to the conclusion that both candidates blow and to vote third party.

It is, and it always is for me. I'm primarily seeing it through the fiscal/economic side and the democrats are just so far off on that they scare me. The social issues just don't matter to me anymore, but the the thought of the last three candidates (Obama, Kerry, Gore) holding the keys to the safe just terrified me. And my worst fears were realized with Obama and his super majority. Yes, Bush had fiscal issues that sucked. But his deficits didn't start ballooning until the Democrats moved into Congress, then they exploded when Obama came in. Then their absolute disdain for the private sector and industry in general is the cherry on top.

I'd love to see one of these libertarians actually run as one of the parties but that will never happen since they are the antithesis to everything the two parties are about "Scratch my back and I'll scratch yours."

See this angst every couple if election cycles. People saying they aren't going to vote for the Republican because he's too mainstream. Gonna vote for third party true believer, damn it !!

Then slowly, methodically, and completely predictably talk themselves out of it. Oh, you'll talk a mean game, pound your chest, proclaim that you, and only those disgruntled like you, are smart enough to see what's going on in the world.

But two things are invariably going to happen. One, you will vote R. You were always going to, anyway. Two, if the Dem wins you will whine about the lousy choice the R's put out there and how, next time, you are going to stick to principles.

Poorly veiled double dog dare campaigning for the current worthless occupant of the White House.

None. I'm an Independent and I consider all politicians to be liars. Like a used cars sales person they will tell you anything to get your vote and money. So I ignore their speeches and wade through news articles to figure out which one is lying the least and vote for that one.

Interesting, I said GJ but it turns out that it's MR. It also says that I side with 33% of Barry's lies. I am so confused, I am voting for Virgil! LOL. I am not going to close this until someone gives me a hint on how to post my results, could someone help?

I side 92% with Mitt Romney
