Election Season - Is there anybody out there?

Well I suppose it's time I weighed in on election politics.  Many of my Facebook friends are all a buzz with their support or lack thereof for the two major candidates.

Now this may not come as a huge surprise to most of you who know me, and it may out and out shock some of you, but I will not be supporting Barack Obama for a second term.  Mr. Obama has failed to deliver on some of the most important issues of our day.  We are still fighting an endless war in the Middle East.  Our President has not only continued the failed policy of the Bush administration of an endless and pointless war against an ideology, but he has escalated the government's efforts to a level so foul that even twenty years ago such thoughts were inconceivable.  Tell any 1990's politico that the so called "liberal" president in 2012 would have the power (without any resistance) to order the assassination of American citizens, they'd call you crazy.  Absolutely sickening is the overreach of this administration in the name of 'national security'.
Instead of real reform to reel in the excesses of the banking industry that led to the worst economic crisis in American history since the Great Depression, we got a new law that deemed certain banks and corporations as 'too big to fail'.  Basically guaranteeing that no matter what these greedy bastards did to our economy we would ensure even at the cost of our own economic future and prosperity that these people would not go under.  By the way, the REAL unemployment rate isn't as rosy as the official statistic released by the federal government - look it up.
And can I please take a second to point out to the team politics Democrats that the health care reform we got is a total sham, and you all should be ashamed of yourselves for supporting it.  Don't you find it interesting that through the entire two year debate this country had about this farce of a law the insurance companies remained eerily silent?  I wonder why?  Oh wait, this new federal law, sealed in place by the Supreme Court, just guaranteed them 47 brand new accounts.  That's not being socially conscious or responsible, that law is fascism.  Really, take a look at Italian fascism under Mussolini.  If you really wanted to change the healthcare system in a way that guaranteed everyone could have health insurance that wanted it, you could have supported a single payer option that, while allowing for private insurance companies to continue to operate, would offer options to the 47 million Americans without insurance.  Instead we have a law that forces 47 million people to buy something that regardless of our own best interest or desire to do business with these bastards, have to buy insurance now.

Well, it's clear that I will not be supporting Mr. Obama again, lets turn to the other option, oh wait, he's a Republican, aren't they the people that tried everything they could to ruin our economy and country through the first decade of the 21st century?  Yeah, those guys that started the damn war, that pulled back reasonable regulations that kept the banks and corporations from ruining the whole economy for the rest of us, that cut education funding in favor of huge subsidies to big oil companies that nearly destroyed the economy and ecosystem of 5 states and Mexico, let alone the Gulf of Mexico.  The party that demands whether I'm an atheist, Buddhist, Jew, Muslim or Christian acknowledge that this country is a Christian country (we're not), and think all of our social problems would be solved if we just allowed the schools to lead all the kids in prayer every morning.  The party that still wont get over a damn court case that was settled 40 years ago, and the only way to change it would be a constitutional amendment - btw, good fucking luck on that one. The party that believes the best way to address international relations is to either bomb or covertly bomb every population that doesn't agree with you. Yeah, I wont be supporting those guys this year either.

So where do I go?  Who does someone like myself vote for this year? Worse yet, am I alone with this?  I believe in progressive values, I think it's a crime that anyone in the richest country in the world should be out on the streets, hungry or homeless.  It's shameful the amount of money we spend on killing machines instead of implements of bettering humanity and furthering science and prosperity and peace.  I will work something out, maybe I'll just vote for and against what proposals I will, and just abstain from the Presidential election this year.  Really I guess I'm writing this to ask if anyone else sees what I see?  I have a good many liberal and forward thinking friends that I consider to be smart, intellectual, good people, and I'm just astonished that they're supporting Obama in 2012.  The only wasted vote is one you can't get behind.  Please help me understand if you believe in what you say; why you would support someone who has failed so miserably as the flag bearer of liberalism in the 21st century.
