I know what you mean. The past 6 months have left me completely disgusted with the whole mess.
I find the political process very frustrating and demoralizing, too. Although I know better, every time I desire a politican with no flaws. I always arrive at that lessor of evils equation.
The lessor of the evils is Newt for this election. Romney is out of the question because he has nothing to offer beyond the evil department. Newt did create a track record of balancing the budget and reform welfare. He is able to verbalize the American-American ideology of economic freedom and individual rights. He did promise to can Agenda 21. He does see Muslims as the terrorist threat and not Americans.
If Newt gets in, we will have to ride him like a wet mule.
