Depends on who the Republican nominee is. However I'll most likely be voting third party again in 2012.

Almost mid term I am looking for an honest idea of how people feel about Obama. Partisan Politics aside if you changed your vote please feel free to offer why.
I don't/won't vote for him. But I would not vote for McCain either. I do not believe in lesser of the 2 evils as well. I believe if you are good I will vote if not, too bad I won't even bother voting. I will not vote for lesser of the 2 evils, only the good candidate.

If you force me I would rather revolt than vote for them.

Anyone who truly believes that the blame for where the country is at today lies solely at the feet of only one of the two major parties is clueless.

In the last election, of the two candidates, it didn't matter which one you voted for, you were going to get the same thing we have had for the last 22 years. A Progressive.

Where would we be with Ron Paul running the ship, and a truly conservative congress with State appointed Senators?

I will vote for president OBAMA for the same reason I voted for him before. He has done a good job handling what could have been a major depression and is working to get us out of Iraq at last.

IMHO, no matter what the Republican Party says about being the party of the people it is, and always has been, the party of the financial elite and does not offer anything for me or my family. I will vote for the Democrats because there is no viable socialist/progressive party available.

So you vote for the Dems because they are the closest thing to socialism that is available

Though I disagree with your obvious opinions of the direction you would like to see this country go in I appreciate your candidness! If your a socialist stand up and say you are one!! I wish more democrats did this.

I do equate the democrats with socialism and believe for most of them it is their ultimate goal.

There is a consistent mantra from the left that anti democrat/socialism is pro republican/right/conservative/religious/ ect.

It has been my experience that there is a solid movement in this country to a more libertarian philosophy of which there are many liberal values.

Partisian politics aside, I think Obama's pretty par-for-the-course.

Not the best President, not the worst.

I do not regret my vote, but I do think the time has come to abolish the two-party system.

Exactly my sentiments. If Senator McCain had picked someone else, he probably would have had my vote. I was even excited the first day or two after he chose Ms. Palin (since I had no idea who she was), although my excitment wore away the more I learned about her. Now, 18 months later, I am convinced I did the right thing.

I do feel for Senator McCain. I bet hardly a day goes by that he doesn't think "Oh! Why didn't I choose A or B? Or even C or D? Why did I chose P?"

If he had been younger with no cancer history, maybe I would have ignored the possibility of Ms. Palin becoming president (much like I ignored Mr. Quayle).
