Does anyone think less of me for not wanting to vote for any of them? Yes?
Too fuckin' bad. I know it's my responsibility to vote, but... ugh, it's like choosing which grinder I'm going to put my nuts in.
I live in Arizona and if Obama had any chance in hell here and it was close I might vote for him to make sure Romney wouldn't win. But since only republicans will ever win here I'm going to vote for Jill Stein because I agree with what she believes the most.
Also Romney seems to be doing a fine job of losing the election on his own at this point, he doesn't need my help.

With a name like Merlin how did you not expect a grand wizard?
I think Obama's victory is basically guaranteed at this point, so it feels kind of irrelevant who I vote for. I really hate all of the candidates but I like getting jury duty, so I'm sure I will vote anyways. Ill decide on election day.

What else could you expect from Third Position?
If I was voting based on my own personal opinions and beliefs it would be for either Jill Stein or Stewart Alexander. But let's not kid ourselves, in America a third party candidate (a super liberal one at that) has about much chance to win as those of us posting in this thread do. So I'm voting for Obama. Mostly as a "fuck you" to conservatives. Which isn't to say I'm not happy with Obama, I voted for him in 2008 and he hasn't done anything wrong by me, or that I don't have legit reasons choosing him.
I'm somewhat reluctantly voting for Obama this year. I never like not voting, so I usually just pick the candidate I agree with the most. I like what Romney has said about his position on economic policy, but I just can't connect with the guy on any level. He just comes across as a man with friends in all the wrong places, all of which seem to be completely out of touch with the middle and lower class of Americans. And while I've certainly detested Obama's economic legislation (and his craptastic healthcare law), I'm generally content with his positions on social issues, foreign policy, and his handling of the wars. It's strange but he's the only President that I've witnessed actually improving at his job over time.
Everyone should give this a shot and post their results:
I surprisingly side with the Green party in the majority.
And, let's be honest, Romney continues to shoot himself in the foot by refusing to go into specifics about his plan and spewing shit like "Congress and I will work that out." That's not how elections work, Mittens. He really is dropping the ball at every opportunity lately.I'm somewhat reluctantly voting for Obama this year.

" The Prohibition Party advocates a variety of socially conservative causes, including "stronger and more vigorous enforcement of laws against the sale of alcoholic beverages and tobacco products, against gambling, illegal drugs, pornography, and commercialized vice."
these guys sounds like fun, I'm voting for them.

Nice website, it is actually somewhat reasonable. It even told me to vote for the guy I am going to vote for so unlike most of these types of things it hasn't been hijacked to return specific results. Good on them.

Yeah, it's pretty well done. It's really interesting to look at the states, and how each candidate is doing in each.

No need to thank me. Thank The Bossman.
Just went to that "isidewith" website, and turns out I agree 91% with Gary Johnson. Might actually vote for him instead of Obama now that I've read up on him more.

as do I, I almost got 100% agreement with the green party in fact (97%)
but I think I knew that already so it's not super surprising.

By candidate, I got the Green candidate (which race of people is Green again?) (93%), but by party, I got Democrat (94%).
At this point I'm not even sure if I will bother to vote. I live in a super red state and I don't particularly like either candidate. Oh well, civic duty and all that, right?
If he had any hope of winning, I'd vote for Jeff Boss. I mean, really, having "President Boss" would be just plain great.

I'm not an American but voted Obama anyway because Romney seems like a total douche from the very little I've seen of the election coverage and why bother voting for anyone besides Democrat or Republican?
Why bother voting at all then ? If everyone has such a fucking dumbass mentality then no wonder Americans have a shitty 2 party system. A vote is a vote, every vote counts the same, and by now I think Americans should already be tired of the bullshit they are being constantly fed.
