Why do any of you bother voting Republican or Democrat?

8 years of GWB with country in an absolute nightmare recession and war

4 years of Obama with country in an absolute nightmare recession and war

Do you really think whether a Rep or Dem wins in 2012 that anything is going to change?

Why not vote for Ron Paul or one of the other guys one time just to shake up the nightmare status quo they've got in DC right now? WTF have you got to lose?

Too many people are now dependent on big governement. That is why government only gets bigger and these big government advocates keep getting elected. There are not nearly enough hard-working, educated, self-sufficient people left in America to embrace Libertarianism.

Agreed. I kind of see it like this... The United States was once like an average weight 2nd grader who walked 3 miles to school each way every day. Well one day his Mom started to Drive him to and from school everyday. Naturally the kid loved it and he refused to go back to walking to school. However, because of this he started to gain 2lbs of fat each and every month. Now he's in the 10th grade and well over 150lbs over weight. The thought of him walking to school now seems out of the question. Had he walked to school the entire time he wouldn't be overweight at all. How should he solve his obesity problem? He needs to start walking to school again. It's not going to be easy but it needs to be done.
