A REAL CHOICE?

This year's choices for a President presents a real quandary. I have been saying that we have the worst choice(s) I have ever seen for what will be my twelfth Presidential election.
Up until now, I have been loyal to the Democrat Party, but I'm disappointed that they are acting like Republicans. Voting for either candidate doesn't seem to be an option, and I've never seriously considered voting for a third party candidate, which would seem to be a futile gesture, as would a write in vote.
The average voter does not have a choice of who is picked to run for President. The Democrat Party has embraced blacks and now they are acceptable Presidential Candidates, but they still do not (like the Republicans) accept that a woman is capable of being President. I I think it was the power brokers of the Democratic Party, Te4d Kennedy, Howard Dean, et.al., that promoted Obama at the expense of the best candidate (Hillary Clinton). They are just like the power brokers of either party; they cannot accept that a woman can do the job from which they have been excluded for over 200 years. Look at other countries throughout the world, England, Germany, The Netherlands, Israel, India, Indonesia, The Philippine Islands, to name some who have had women leaders, and it doesn't seem to have hurt them at all, and may have even enriched them.
I have at times accused the Republican Party of having a mindset that is entrenched in the Nineteenth Century, but I realize that they are not the only ones. Sex is an accident of birth, and doesn't determine a person's capabilities. The little boys of both parties need to grow up!
And no, I am not a woman!
