I'm tired of both parties not considering the people, but considering big business.

Do not vote if you do not like the candidates. I have not voted since the last presidential election and doubt I ever will again. All voting gets you is jury duty (I know from experience that sucks) if you live in a state that user voting registration to determine jury duty as I do. The dirty truth is that voting does not matter any way because 90% of all elections are not conested with either a candidate running unopposed or against a joke opponent.
If you vote for either party you are consenting to the corrupt system in America. Even if you vote for a joke party like the Libertarin Party or the Green Party, you are still consenting to the corrupt system by participating in it. Until the majority stops consenting to that system by not voting, the system will go hapilly along. America is not a democracy or a republic, it is an oligarchy run by a few privileged families named Bush, Clinton, Kennedy, Rockefeller, et cetera.

We would soon have good government if all voters never voted for an incumbent. Moral and political corruption at the Federal level is out of control and we can make a significant improvement, possibly even have a good government if all members of Congress were new on the job.
The problem with this plan is that the fourth branch, bureaucracy, would probably be even more powerful.

The United States needs a third party called the United States Party--U.S.--for us. We need a platform and people to run for office as members of this party. We need a Presidential candidate.
Ready to start a new political party?

Keeping "Big business" in your country is unfortunately the most important thing. In this day and age it can relocate in a matter of months.
Do you realise how many illnesses a unemployed person can get?
The priorities of "whats right for the people" takes a back seat, in the back of the bus - in a collapsing economy.
I am not that cynical about politicians - and I generally believe that they actually try to do the best they can.

I believe Thomas Jefferson said it best:
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
REVOLUTION!!!

We have to be able to go after our own side.. And that doesn't seem too likely.. If it were to happen, a third party candidate could actually stand a chance.. I highly doubt that'll happen anytime soon.. Though I'd like to see it...

As someone once said:
It isn't the lesser of 2 evils that bothers me, but the evil of 2 lessers.
I have no idea who I will vote for, more likely I will vote against.
