Jill Stein.

You had a choice: http://www.jillstein.org/issues

But then the Green Party fails to resist the urge to let their inner crazy show through, and says things like:

* Create a nuclear free zone in the Middle East region and require all nations in area to join.

Yes, I'm sure they'll happy go along with us "requiring" them to play nicely, all without us having to park 3 carriers a mile off their coasts to "encourage" them.

"FINANCIAL REFORM
        * Break up the oversized banks that are "too big to fail," starting with Bank of America.
        * Create a Corporation for Economic Democracy, a new federal corporation (like the Corporation for Public Broadcasting) to provide publicity, training, education, and direct financing for cooperative development and for democratic reforms to make government agencies, private associations, and business enterprises more participatory.
        * End bailouts for the financial elite and use the FDIC resolution process for failed banks to reopen them as public banks where possible after failed loans and underlying assets are auctioned off.
        * Bring monetary policy under democratic control by prohibiting private banks from creating money, thus restoring government's Constitutional authority.
        * Let pension funds be managed by boards controlled by workers, not corporate managers.
        * Regulate all financial derivatives and require them to be traded on open exchanges.
        * Require banks to use honest bookkeeping so that toxic assets cannot be hidden or sold to unsuspecting persons.
        * Restore the Glass-Steagall separation of depository commercial banks from speculative investment banks.
        * Democratize monetary policy to bring about public control of the money supply and credit creation. This means nationalizing the private bank-dominated Federal Reserve Banks and placing them under a Federal Monetary Authority within the Treasury Department.
        * Establish federal, state, and municipal publicly-owned banks that function as non-profit utilities and focus on helping people, not enriching themselves."

Well, there's always Jill Stein.

A Jill Stein vote will not be seen as a call for some political integrity, unfortunately. It will be interpreted as a pro-sustainability, anti-plutocracy vote by the brains (the Rove/Matlin/Carville types) and as crazy, un-american hippy lunacy by the brain-washed and brainless.

And a fourth alternative: Jill Stein. And depending on what state you're in, quite a few other choices. And if all else fails, write in yourself. You don't have to vote for either Romney or Obama, you know.

Of course, in Nevada, there's a big controversy because there's a chance that "none of the above" might win.
