Just once....just once!...I would like to vote FOR somebody, instead of AGAINST the other guy.

At their extremes both parties are completely full of shit. This year I'm voting Democrat to get the sleezeballs out of office and our asses out of a war for oil and Haliburton contracts. Of course once the Democrats are in office the big issue for them will be 'gays in the military', but at this point that sounds pretty good.

We need election reform where alternative parties have a chance at winning without casting weight to another party when they don't succeed. Just a simple 'alternative' choice on the ballot so that a green party voter doesn't have to contribute to a Republican victory. The Republican Party actually donates heavily to the Green party because they know it takes votes away from the Democrats --but neither the Republicans nor the Democrats are going to allow that.
