What would it take?

What would it take for me to vote for either Pres. Barack Obama or Gov. Mitt Romney?   Would you like a list?

  1. End the TSA (obvious if you read any of my tweets).
  2. End the PATRIOT Act - the abomination of our rights 
  3. End the war on drugs - at least start the decriminalization process.
  4. Stop using executive orders to bypass our "elected" Congress.
  5. Come up with a real solution to the entitlement problem that does not place an extreme burden on the next generation.
  6. Cut out the welfare for the military-industrial complex.
  7. Stop corporations, unions, and other special interest groups from having major influence in the writing of legislature.
  8. Allow citizens to exercise their free natural rights that are guaranteed under the Constitiution.
  9. Start realizing that you and the Congress are supposed to work for the people.

Simple list, but I can't see many "major party" politicians being able to even come close to offering any solutions to this.

That is why I continue to vote 3rd party whenever possible in elections.
