Statements bouncing around in my head...
"6 billion dollars spent on the 2012 elections, to maintain the status quo." -KSL News
"90% of Germans supported Obama. They are happy with the results. They support his healthcare plan. They are socialists." - Aunt Emmalou (visiting in Germany during election day)
A wife on Facebook: "Haha. Very level-headed doomsday predictions, dear."
"A stark difference between President Obama and Governor Romney is that Romney is eager to take responsibility while Obama repeatedly pledges to take responsibility and then fakes it. ...But does Obama truly take responsibility or fake responsibility? We’ve had four years of Obama shooting messengers (including Fox News) and blaming others (before it was Romney it was President Bush, Republicans and the Tea Party). We’ve had four years of Obama insisting that he knows best and that anywhere there have been “bumps in the road” it is because of potholes and craters made by others—never by him. The president can’t have it both ways. With leadership responsibility comes leadership accountability." -Fox News
"Obama will bring 'more of the same.'" -Mitt Romney, among others
"Romney will undo everything we've worked towards in the last 4 years." -Barack Obama
"Why would anyone vote for Obama?" -Dave Allred
"Because he's bought them off and bribed them. He did it with "affordable" health insurance, mandatory coverage, Obama-phones, a new car with the 'cash for clunkers' stimulus; new appliances and windows in the name of 'energy saving' and 'green.' He saved some people's jobs by bailing out banks and car companies that deserved to fail.
He's the "favorite parent" who bails out their kid and then spoils them. These problems are not our fault, he says. It's not his fault. It's some dead guy's fault. Or your old babysitter's fault.
Of course people voted for him. They like parents who buy things for them... things they want and don't need. He promises to take care of everybody so that you don't have to put the effort into doing it yourself. He'll make all the hard decisions for you." -Keshia Allred (me)

I've got an idea! Lets divide this country into 3 Nations - Republicans, Democrats, and 3rd party/moderate/"I hate politics" people. Then lets see who goes bankrupt first! And see if anyone actually survives! In fact, we should make this into a simulated computer game or an app first... how would that work? Any suggestions? Then, whichever nation survives, bails out the other two nations and unites them under a working and stable government. Any takers?

I love the idea of seeing who would survive :) Though, as a recent third party convert, I don't want to be put in the same category as some of the third parties, or they will cancel each other out.
Which 3rd party do you like? I've looked into a couple of them, but not very throughly; I'm sure there's got to be one out there for me... because I don't seem to like either major party all that much.
Your right though, it's not really fair to group all 3rd parties together... the biggest war would probably be there because they have such an wide range of ideas... and would be establishing a very different government based on it.
