I don’t share your unstated premise that a completely unrestrained willard in office would be all that much better than a somewhat restrained hussein.

Don't over-think what I said. By looking for an "unstated premise" you have completely missed the point, to wit:
Voting third party is a meaningless gesture and will accomplish nothing positive. Without access to the mega millions of dollars that flood the major party candidates' war chests, a third party candidate has no chance of winning. Voting for Goode/Clymer is effectively the same as staying home.

I'm not crazy about Romney either but I absolutely loath Obama, so what can you do? You have to be at the table to play the game and a smug, morally superior attitude don't mean dodelly squat unless it's coupled with a win at the polls.
