The real question here is why would I want to be associated with either of those groups?
I gave up a long time ago and became a Libertarian. I do not see myself as indecisive (despite Rush's comments to the contrary) simply because I choose to vote for individuals as an alternative to the Democrats and Republicans. I vote based upon the individual running for office and not their party affiliation.

For those of you who choose not to vote because of the frustration of choices, if you don't bother to vote - you can't complain about the winner of the race. Not so very long ago, there were American citizens who did not have the right to vote because of their gender or the color of their skin. Activists were diligent and lives were lost so that everyone had the right to vote. Politicians change with the voting climate. Most (but not all) of them are either fame or power hungry. Use it to your advantage. If you want them to listen to your needs, make a stand and demand change. Young people seem to be more independent and less party dependent. If they engage, make their voices heard and throw around their voting block like the elderly do, politicians will either change to get elected or new ones will emerge.
