I know Independent Canidates don't seem to ever get that much support. Why not? And will there ever be one that will win the presidency? Or at least win alot of seats in the house or senate? I know Joe Lieberman is running as an Independent. Any chance he could run for president? And why has Joe Lieberman taken so much heat by the democratic party? Is it just because of his stance on the war on terror?

Independents are unable to raise sufficient money to successfully run a campaign.
Joe has his support from long standing as an outspoken individual who stands up against his own party often times. They require lock in step for their members.
Many republicans would have voted for Joe if he had been the nominee rather than "foot in mouth" he was running with.

Lieberman's voting record did not represent the wishes of his constituency/Connecticut and they did what was necessary. It was the start of something beautiful that will come to head on Nov. 7th. Unless an Independant candidate is very well known or some kind of actual hero their chances of getting elected are pretty slim. The GOP/DNC have the laws regarding the participitation in an election/debate so spelled out and biased in their favor that it just makes sense for a strong candidate to be a Dem or Publickend. The best bet is for someone to run as one of the two parties--win--and then change party after being elected to office.

No, too many human beings vote for D or R. There are households which will say, "all of us in our family contributors has constantly voted Democrat". maximum persons do no longer learn themes, applicants, or propositions. So, an self sufficient can in no way be president.

No living human kind can be self independence without our creator on planet earth.
Look around at the mess we created for ourselves with non-existence ghost stories of independence day in kicking our own butts and make a monkey out of ourselves in "Planet of Apes" on planet earth.

No. The lack of party machinery, absense of monied resources and the will of vested interests to keep power within the two party framework that they control will never allow that to happen.

Probably!
Why has Liebermann taken so much heat! He's a Democrat that voted Republican and for everything that Bush proposed! Didn't think we would let him do it again, did you?

It's possible, but probably not within our life time.
