Were we in a less critical time I would agree with you and vote for a third party, and it may very well soon come to a time when I will. But not this election.
It's amazing how we're in a critical time every 4 years... just like clockwork.

Secession is about the security and preservation of Liberty. It is, by definition, not about the preservation of a nation.
Which is of greater importance to you?

Congress only managed to pass 80 pieces of legislation last year. That's hardly a sign that things are falling apart. If that's what an Obama presidency results in then I say, bring it on. I'd rather see gridlock than have one party dominate things, we saw what we get with that in the Bush years. Imagine the spending spree we'd get with a Romney presidency and a republican congress. Or Obama with a dem congress. Things aren't at a critical juncture. It's the perfect time to vote your conscience, rather than waste a vote on a candidate who's little better than his opponent. You don't need to eat at BK or McDonald's. You can choose a much better place and get most of what you really want.
How is gridlock progress on any level?
I assume you work. Suppose no one does anything at work and see how long you have a job or your employer stays in business.
Gridlock on a national level IS a sign of things falling apart. A paralyzed man whether he is either physically or emotionally paralyzed, is in no shape to handle the pressures of life, so why is that a good thing on a national level?
We are never going to have a perfect government, nor a Utopian society. It can't happen. But we can act like men and do our best and expect the same out of our government--or else we replace them - one way or the other.
The government may make mistakes and the elected may act selfishly, but that is when WE the people must make our objections heard-very loud, very clear and persistently. Gridlock is not acceptable in national matters anymore than it is on a personal ones.

The relationship between government and freedom is that government destroys freedom. So the more active government is, the more freedom is being destroyed. Gridlock is not only acceptable, it's preferable. Gridlock means those ****ers aren't doing anything more to destroy our freedoms. The only situation more preferable than gridlock is a government that doesn't even get out of bed in the morning.
Don't you remember back in 1972? Both parties were heavy on the rhetoric of "It doesn't matter who you vote for because we're mostly just the same."
It's way more fun to pretend that elections are more and more critical than any of the previous, especially when the the difference between the R and D candidates get slimmer and slimmer. Patriot Act, Indefinite detention, view on pre-emptive wars, etc etc... These guys are the same. Oh wait, Romney also signed the ban the evil porn thing which gives him a +1 over Obama right?
I agree. Good points! This is exactly why this election is critical to start the process of removing these people. Put the lesser of the evil in now and remove him later with a better choice. That is the main goal.
It isn't going to happen as a smooth process, nor is it going to happen with one election! It will be a stair step process, with a few backsteps along the way. But the process HAS to start now or we are truly doomed as a free nation. It's our choice--yours and mine.

I was thinking more like 25 to life?
Now I am pretty sure you are a Romney staffer trolling. I tease. I tease.
I hope so!! I hate Romney!!
Seriously though, I think I'm finally starting to see your line of thinking. Moderate Romney can lose to Obama just like Moderate McCain did. What's it hurt, they are the same. Obama will continue pushing forward with the Bush administration's agenda (plus a little extra nonsense of his own). The rank and file toe the party line republicans will finally lose all of the local and state elections. Then maybe enough of everyone else will stop voting republican and start voting a third party. Once that third party gets popular, you will then be able to view them as an option. I think it might work!
A vote For a R or Against a D is but a bandaid.
Sure we could "cut out the cancer" but the if the patient doesn't change his lifestyle, he wont be around long enough for the heart transplant.
So, assuming Romnebamma is installed, he will mix up a new "medication" to keep our patient fat, dumb, and oblivious. Our "heart" will continue to fail and no transplant is forthcoming. None is EVER forthcoming from this medical staff.
Better to fire the [STRIKE]doctors[/STRIKE] Quacks now.
The only thing that is going to wake this patient up from the coma is to pull the plug
