    Interesting thread.

    Independent here, having voted for repubs and dems in the past.

    Currently disgusted by the tea party led rightward shift of the repubs, but I think both parties are not interested in what's best for the country and the majority of the people. they are all about power and $$, just supported/run by different interest groups.

    probably vote for gary johnson this year.

    I hear what you are saying. This is a tough year and a hard choice. All I can say is that in 2000 I felt the same way and voted for Nader. I bought into the idea that there was no difference between Bush and Gore. I was very wrong, and it remains one of the two worst votes I ever cast.

    I consider myself an independent but the GOP these days does not seem to cater to the Independent vote on the campaign trail. The Romney that debated Obama may have had a chance for my vote but it contradicted everything he campaigned on leading up to the debates which i don't respect. That was old moderate Massachusetts Romney and if he wins that is what I hope we end up getting.

    Colin Powell endorses Obama. Not sure if he'll vote for him but he's clearly crossing over. I wish Colin had resigned rather than make the pitch to the UN to go to war with Iraq.

    Peace.

    Didn't Powell say he voted for Obama in 2008?

    I believe he also endorsed him that year as well.

    Bush's 2nd term soured me on the Republican Party, McCain/Palin cemented it.
    I'm an indepedent/libertarian now. But I'm voting Romney.

    That said, in California I always toss my votes to ANY 3rd party on the ticket at every level, PTA, city, district, state - Independent, Green, Libertarian, Peace and Love. I have pretty much always voted anti-incumbent regardless of party. But that was easy as a Republican in CA....

    When I was a Republican, I voted for Gov Gray Davis cause Lungren was a nightmare.
    And I voted Ross Perot.

    We need more viable parties. Two party system is killing us...
    [sic] happens
