In fact, I hate to say it but I've become so disenchanted with our political system that I might not vote next time.

Please don't "not vote". If you can't stomach voting for a member of either ruling party (and I can't say I blame you), then vote for either an independant or third-party candidate who you can stomach. If third-party candidates obtain enough votes during an election, then they can qualify for public funding in the next election, raising their visibility. In time (and a loooong time it might be), this is the sort of thing that might help break the two party debacle we have now, and restore some sanity to politics in the US.
