Ah, a really subtile question.

I guess if I say I didn't vote then I've got no right to complain right? (I don't recall ever hearing my right of free speech was tied to my voting record). And If I say I voted for one or the other then I'm either a hypocrite or a partisan correct?

I'll confound you with the truth then.

I was more-or-less a right-wing jerk when I was young and stupid. Then I grew up a bit and saw the world more clearly and now I vote (and have voted since I felt like I knew what I was doing) straight Democratic. Until a real alternative comes along it's the best I can do short of starting a revolution.

Neo-liberal economics and the neo-conservative social programs disgust me pretty much equally.

The Democrates may be doomed but the republicans are REALLY REALLY doomed. IMO

That answer your question?
