There is no other option. We have to fight for ourselves, not look for someone else to fight for us. Right now, there are only two people who mathematically will be president, Obama or Romney. None of these third party types will get on enough ballots to even come close to the electoral votes needed for a win. They are nothing more than feeding one’s own ego.
At that, one of the big problems I see is exactly what you expressed, we are always looking for someone to fight for us. We need to fight for ourselves.
At this point, we are hiring someone to be Commander in Chief of the US Armed Forces, not some liberator or champion. I for one, can’t stomach the thought of our soldiers saluting Obama for one more day than is necessary.
“They are nothing more than feeding one’s own ego.”
Is the purpose of an election to vote for the winner or to vote for the candidate who’s beliefs are closest to their own?
