Each party is now taking its base for granted spitting in its eye and laughing they need to be kicked out. The freest country in the world has only 2 parties possible to get elected. Thats insane.

Its time for the peasants with pitchforks to take their country back. I am tired of being taken for granted

Read the blind answers defending the crooks on both sides. I despise the crooks on both sides. I do respond to the bashing of the President where the charges are straight from the wackos guide to unsubstantiated stupidity. I was soundly thumbs down when I suggested Senator Vitter resign. I understand Senator Vitter not resigning when, dispite all of Senator Ted Kennedy's crimes, he still serves as a US Senator.

LIberal and conservative what do they even mean any more? The last third party candadite elected to the presidency was LIncoln and they killed him. As for the congress Its all about money. They dont care about the people they care about the almighty dollar. The Simple fact is that the people who accually deserve the job and would do it for the right reasons dont have the stamina to last against the big politicat machines like you Kennedys, Bushs, and Clintons. As long as they control the system it will never change and I dont think they are willing to give up control without a fight.

I agree. What's even worse is that these 2 parties might as well be 1 party the difference between them is so slim. They both increase the size of goverment with each passing president which is almost the direct opposite of what people had in mind when this country was founded. Let's rise up!! We should probably start with a meeting at my house ;-) (thats a wink)

With our two party system, every four year we get to elect a leader for our nation, and the life goes on. Other countries for example:
India
Germany
Thailand
Where you have multi party system are always in confusion over who actually won, then there are Hung Parliaments (Hosuse). Election after election, waste of public funds and no progress. Life stands still and Multiparty system gives rise to corruption at levels one can not control.
One change I would like to see is the Term Limit for Congress and The Senate.
We need new blood in both senate and congress, the problem is that we have too many incumbents and ideology of 1960 trying to run our nation.

Odd but strangely its obviously worked we are #1 for a reason... I agree the big wigs in washington are way off from the actual american people and i think if we had more of americas opinions there would be less of a gap between the parties!

We should, but until there is a strong 3rd party, too many fear that a vote for anyone outside of the 2 majors, is a vote against the lesser of 2 evils. It is tragic, but we NEED a "LOGICAL" party.

here's to the new bumbs! same as the old bumbs!
we won't get fooled again!
um, corruption is epidemic in our current system and until campaign finance reform is addressed in a meaningful way, not much will get done and things will stay the same. it is the only logical conclusion to our money driven system.....lobbyists have access and they run things. if you or i, two basicly honest independents, were in office, we too would be under the thumb of the lobbyists. the extent we were under said lobbyists thumb would be based on our charachter. we could be as corrupt as we wanna be, BUT, we would to some degree be bought and paid for.

three or more parties could allow the least popular candidates to be elected.
Do you remember how clinton got elected in his first presidency? Bush Sr. split the votes with Ross Perot. The number of conservative votes Perot pulled (majority of his votes were from conservatives) were enough to elect Bush with a landslide.
