No amount of rhetoric will make me vote for Obama or Romney in this election. I'm simply no longer interested in the status quo, which is what we will get with both of them. Both parties are equally interested in taking away freedoms, its one of the only bipartisan supported issues going on now. Romney will not change that, business as usual.

I'm voting Libertarian. If that indirectly makes me vote for Obama, well then so be it.

I really cant believe that voting 3rd party is no better than staying home. So much for personal responsibility and choices in this country.

It wasn't intended as rhetoric - honestly. If you vote third party, you will get the status quo when the incumbent wins.

If you indirectly vote for Obama, as you correctly put it, then how is it NOT the same as staying home or simply voting for him?

This is just the math of the situation. Third parties (for both sides - though the left is less frequent in having a split) suffer from this numerical handicap.
