What political party do you support...
Although I'm not with them on every issue, I agree far more with the Libertarian Party than with Democrats or Republicans.
It seems to me that recent history demonstrates clearly that both major parties are good for little more than preventing the other from cramming through a fiscally ruinous agenda. Just look at the 2003-2006 and 2009-2010 periods, the two recent stretches when one party had its hands on all the power levers.
I think we are in for very serious trouble unless at least one of the major parties reforms itself in a major way. Does that look likely absent a severe crisis?

I do not support any party as a whole. I support individual candidates.
I don't necessarily vote party ticket.
My local choices often deviate from national
choices.
Voting is a matter of reading between the lies.
Er ....lines.
There hasn't been many great options to choose from
In my experience since I've been of voting age.
Clinton was the only nice surprise in recent memory.
In retrospect... Some of his worst critics then... Don't condemn
Him so ardently now. Time has a way of putting things in perspective.
Libertarian Party. The basic premise, as long you don't hurt anybody or hurt anybodies property, it is not the Government's business what you do, The Governments business is to PROTECT OUR BOUNDARIES. PERIOD. Each state having its own laws not the Fed mandating their laws on the States or else "we don't give you any money", talk about blackmail. SHEESH

You do what is important FIRST.
You do only those thing that will HELP.
For our current national political scene, in my opinion, that means removing Obama from office. It means preventing the Democrats from gaining control of the House, and taking the Senate away from the Democrats.
The Libertarian Party has some good ideas, but the plain fact is that the Libertarians cannot defeat Obama. Worse, at least some of the current and immediately former leadership of the Libertarian Party see themselves on a Mission From God to defeat Republicans. (See the Republican Wall of Shame website, constructed and maintained by the Libertarian Party. Then ask where the corresponding Democratic Wall of Shame website is, and listen to the crickets being the only thing disturbing the Sound of Silence. Read the myriad writings of the former Executive Director on the subject.)
In other words, I'm voting Republican in November.
