Then don't vote, because that's the only choice you're ever going to get, I guarantee you.
It usually comes down to this - I try to decide which of the candidates is probably going to do me and the country less damage, then that's who I vote for. That's how I ended up voting for both Bushes and McCain. The alternative was far worse.
That's true of our two party Coke vs. Pepsi duopoly. Three parties is politically unstable but if we had four parties each with about 25% market share we could both vote more precisely and win more often. From left to right the parties would be socialist/communist party, Democrat government hireling party, Republican country club/business party, and the conservative party. Possibly by guaranteeing some seats in the state legislatures for the top four vote getting parties we could incubate a four party system.

Other than Ronald Reagan, when have we had someone terrific to vote for on the national level? Pretty much never. And that is how it will almost always be in a 2 party system. Most of the time the majority of Americans are not going to have someone they are really excited about to vote for for President. Republicans had Reagan in 1980 and Democrats had Obama in 2008. Otherwise both sides, particularly the grass roots on both sides, are usually pretty let down and voting mostly against the other guy. At least most conservatives are still thrilled with Reagan and wished we had another. The lefties hero, Hussein, has been a craptastic failure.
So long as we have a system like ours that prevents coalition building, there is really no way more than 2 serious party's can exist at the same time. Once in a great, great while one party will implode and be replaced by another - but then that new party will just become the 2nd leg of the 2 party system.
Every candidate remaining in our field of potential nominees would be better than Obama - if for no other reason than court selections. I will vote for whoever the Republicans nominate. All of our influential conservative voices like Palin, Cain, Rush, Hannity, etc, will endorse, campaign and vote for our nominee. All the wailing aside, most of those saying they won't vote for this or that candidate will end up voting for the Republican nominee. Reality will set it, and removing Hussein from the White House is just too important.
agree with you on voting for Bush and McCain, the democrat was worse than a case of the clap...
