They do, and they don't...
If your belief is that congress holds the purse strings, then you SHOULD vote for Obama... With him as POTUS and the republicans holding the house (and most likely getting the Senate) a nice deadlock would be good to stop spending right?
I believe that one party rule is a disaster, as proven by both reps and dems. I won't vote for Obama no matter what, being from IL, I know to much
. But I would go 3rd party if I don't get some real information on what they are going to do.
