You are correct. So, what should I do? If you have a better idea please let me know and I would be overjoyed to somehow implement it.
And please, I really do want to know. You can tell me I am wrong, and point out the obvious, but unless you present me with a viable alternative your words are not worth much.
Vote your conscience; since both main parties are offering up morally repugnant candidates this means voting third-party.
By offering someone who is the same, the Republican party now is not even 'the lesser of two evils', but an equal evil. Therefore, why should you put yourself in a place where your conscience can condemn you? There is not a single reason for you to do so because the outcome is the same as voting "for the other guy."
Me, I'm probably going to vote for Goode (Constitution Party), maybe Tom Hoefling (a Freeper here), or perhaps write-in Ron Paul.
I am no longer concerned that Obama will have a second term, because he will, even if he's just going by the name 'Romney.' I certainly won't be able to see the difference. But the Republican Party, as an organization, has to realize that it can't "play ball as normal." In fact it refuses to admit that, so I refuse to support them any more.
And please, I really do want to know. You can tell me I am wrong, and point out the obvious, but unless you present me with a viable alternative your words are not worth much.
Well, what I think the best course of action is is to concentrate on building logistics and intelligence networks. Join the militia, be suspicious of government officials, and get ready. The very best, though painful, outcome is that the people-as-a-whole refuse to continue to support an unjust government and oppose it... this, in turn, will cause those in power to use that power to retain their power. (And then there will be unpleasantness.)
The second-best outcome is that the headlong slide into every horrid policy is stopped, though temporarily.
America as you (and I) know it is over.
We must either become fully-totalitarian, or [mostly-]free, if the latter then there will need to be a cleaning out of corrupt officials [and laws], a trimming away of government agencies, and all that will result in something that is far different than you or I know.
Sorry if this is a bit less than helpful -- I'm trying to convey both long and short term at once.
