I'm with CIVMatt here the real Liberty loving people in this country have abandoned both major parties. They are independents, constitutionalists and libertarians.
We have given government so much control over our lives that it is now consuming us, it has become ridiculous, you can't even pay me to clip your toenails without my having permission from the government to do it and making sure the government gets its cut...and I don't mean of the clippings.
Sadly we have no place left to go where we can be free.

This is true. Both parties want you to believe that they are the majority in this country when it isn't true. More people are registering as independents these days (or switching party affiliations to independent) than both parties combined.
The hard part is getting the independents to actually vote for an independent candidate. If everyone that complained about only have two choices for president had voted for a third party candidate, we would have a third party in this country. No, they wouldn't have won, but they would have gotten a lot of votes, qualified for federal matching funds, gotten a ton of press and put themselves on the map and in a good position to elect people at the local and state levels and make a legit white house run in the next election.
But people won't do that. They would rather pick one of the two and bitch about it than actually do something about it.
