The Democrats are clearly not my party...
Democratic Party Platform
Just watch this "Party of Inclusion" video...
I am a white male, a hunter, and I own guns. Clearly my vote is not being courted there. I'm not gay or Hispanic or poor. I don't believe in big government or in the progressive tax (where your tax rate increases as your income increases). On the other hand, President Barack Obama is an eloquent speaker and the party is protective of individual rights and freedoms (except the one to own guns, strangely).
An awesome SNL video... Obama vs. Romney Cold Open
The Republicans are clearly not my party...
Republican Party Platform
I think evolution is a valid theory, I don't care if homosexuals get married or not, I think reproductive decisions belong in the hands of the individual, and I don't trust anything Paul Ryan says after the 2-hour marathon comment. On the other hand, Mitt Romney came closest to winning my vote with his comment that 47% of Americans act like victims, pay no taxes anyway, and he has no hope of reaching them. It is little moments of clarity and truth like that that make me trust a candidate. The media thinks he should hide it. I think he should shout it from the mountaintop.
Are the Libertarians even running?
Apparently, there is a guy named Gary Johnson running on the libertarian ticket. I had to google it to find that out. Is voting for this guy the same as not voting at all?
On the other hand, this is sort of convincing...
This is actually a pretty damn good commercial...
I'm the guy you're after, politicians. The undecided voter. And you aren't exactly blowing my skirt up. I have no idea who I should vote for. I have a buddy who says he'll write in Ron Paul, but that sounds very similar to not voting to me. Somebody help me, or I'll be standing in the booth for a long time come November...
