Unfortunately we're not that lucky. Next best thing is 'reset button' option.

I may be proved wrong, but both Rs seem sincere about reducing the footprint of government and the attendant deficit spending. Other than national security, I have no higher interest.
Yeah...we need another tech bubble! That's the ticket!
There's an awful lot of "seem sincere" in campaigns, very little of it after the election is over.
What will you do when, assuming what you want the results to be occurs, they fail to deliver? Will you criticize them for it or will you shift the blame?
Assuming one party takes complete control and tanks the nation, and people actually realize it, the other party will likely take complete control and tank the nation in a different fashion. This is because of corruption to an extent, but much more because as a nation we pay more attention to NASCAR and the NBA and American Idol and Honey Boo Boo than to what our elected leaders do, AND even more because as a nation we want more government than we are willing to fund. We want OUR priorities at someone else's expense, which guarantees that one party or the other will play us off against each other.I think voting in this depends on if you're feeling lazy and just want gridlock, or, feeling like thinking long term and realizing the sooner one party finally tanks the country, the faster we can hit the reset switch and start over. If the former then it doesn't really matter which option you pick, as long as the POTUS is opposite party of Congress. If the latter then you want all party the same.
No serious person could actually think having the same party for both Congress and POTUS would be good for the country as a whole. I can only assume you're thinking about the reset switch line of logic since listing that.

Here we have a guy praying for death and suffering all because he doesn't want 10-15% of his taxes used to feed poor minority children. :thumbsup: Oh, but he said he doesn't want it. He thinks it will be in our best interests.When I say tank the nation though, I mean really tank the nation. Not a little pissant depression like we had/have, I'm talking a real tank. For the citizens of the US to wake up, we need it to get to the point people are shooting CEO's, members of Congress, Wall Street Exec's, etc. That's where I hope we eventually get.
It's not that I want that to happen. It's just I realize short of that, we will continue down the slippery slope of societal degradation and voting in more and more people that F the long term welfare of the nation in return for unsustainable short term bennies for the 47% and Rich. Because we will continue down this slope, we will continue to have Politicians en masse who are going to be elected by the two major parties, serving their base constituency, F'ing the nation over. Meanwhile, through our greed, we've awakened giants China and India to compete with us, and in doing so, have spurred Globalization along far faster and more pervasively if we'd not been so greedy and lazy. These two nations will eclipse us within 100-200 years in terms of global influence and purchasing power, all while we decline.
That's the future. In light of that, I chose reset, ASAP.

You can spell out bitch. Don't be afraid to just let loose. Let your hair down. Tell us how it really is.Best national interest long term? Of course. Best for parts of the 47% or Rich in the short term? No. If anything other than death and suffering would fix the long term I'd be all for it. Nothing else will though, human nature. The Dem and Rep base is way to strong, and getting stronger at its extremes, to come to any other logical outcome.
You're free to give more though to the IRS, there is a provision for that. After all, you want more given to the poor minority children through the Fed right? Ante up b1tch, put your money where your mouth is...

I said nothing of the sort. I was referring to one of the reasons why Clinton ran a budget surplus.So you admit Republicans can not live within our means. Revenue fell, but they cut taxes and increased spending anyway.

Wars are expensive. You can argue that we should be a pacifist nation, turn our cheek when attacked. But if we don't we should accept that it will cost us tons of money.
You can reasonably argue that Bush and a Democrat Congress spent us into a hole, but then why not equally criticize Obama, Reid and Pelosi for keeping us on that same curve of trillion $ annual deficits?
The better question is - who will stop the madness? We know that Obama and Congressional Democrats won't. And that leaves us with only a Republican team again.
I usually like a divided government, but looking at the financial tsunami that is about to break over us I am going to go with a straight Republican ticket this time around.
This means you're giving a few extra thousand to the Fed next year when you file your taxes, right? Don't forget about the po kids, do it fer thems! I know you trust the Fed to spend it wisely, so it should be no problem...lulz...
You know nothing. You don't think, you rationalize. You start with false assumption and create from those a circus act. Only Nixon could go to China and only Democrats can deal with the debt.
Hehehe, the feds are fucked. Vote Republican so we can be the fucks.
I hate government.
Make me the government.
But you are the beloved Congress. The country is shit so vote in more shit.
You folks are brain dead.
That's funny, as if you were going to do anything different.

the best team for the next four years - Romney and Ryan.

Need option for Obama wins, Dems take House and gain supermajority of Senate until Republicans flush the shit out of their party. One can dream, right?
