Since the majority of Americans are Liberal why don't they have a PoliticalParty like Germany's Green Party???

Answer 1

Nostro's answer was a good one. Here in America we need to get away from this 2 party system and make it easier for anyone to run for political office. If we had, say, 10 candidates for president, don't you think they would be a lot more concerned about what Americans think and want.

If there had been more candidates last election, Bush never would have been elected, but since the only choice was dumb and dumber, America itself never had a chance.

Answer 2

The majority of Americans are not liberals. Mostly, we fall somewhere in the moderate range with leanings to the right or left.
I agree whole heartedly with Nostradamus up there, that both parties have failed us. Our public servants are not serving the public and our elected officials are not representing our interests. This can be attributed to the inherent flaws in our election process. For decades, we've noticed the disproportionate influence asserted by corporations onto our policies and laws creating free passes for anything from environmental indiscretions, to book cooking and market manipulation. Just look at how the illegal gambling industry became 'legitimized' and mainstreamed solely due to the irresistable revenues that directly benefited politicians involved.
This is worth watching. It is so incredibly informative. Just go to link then click on Watch Capitol Crimes.

Also another vary taboo subject is the bipartisan infiltration of lobby groups and special interest groups into our political system rendering our politicians useless to us since they become an agent for theie "sponsor" paying back political debts during their entire term, even if these loyalties are exclusive of being benefitial to the constituents.
Ever wonder why one party does something so aggregious as attacking Iraq, or planning to attack Iran and the other party just watches? Do you ever wonder where the outrage is? Why votes come from both parties? The answer lies deeply within the same agendas I mentioned. When it's a corporation dictating policy, that's very bad. But when it's another country dictating policy, that should be unconcionable. In the past decade+, a new turbo lobby has inflitrated both parties and all but assured its grip on US political agenda. AIPAC is why no one stands up for our interests anymore.
I got carried away and rambled, and I must go now, but do watch that clip. I think you'll find it informative and even shocking.
The AIPAC and Bilderberg Group links are a good start in searching why we've been going down a strange path that has no benefits to our nation. We must stop these influences if we want to have our democracy back:
Here. These two are related. Bilderberg is just another branch of AIPAC:

The Green Party is young and growing in the U.S.A.
All third parties face excessively restrictive ballot
access laws which discourage party formation.
Greens are usually labeled as Independent when they do get on the ballot, so it's hard to get exposure.
Another obstacle is the unfortunate fact that the Green Party is a bit of a left wing catch-all party.
There is an ongoing battle to keep Socialists from controlling it. I was endorsed by the Green Party of Middle Tennessee twice, but I was also rated "A" by the National Rifle Association. So we are not all cookie-cutter liberals. I am basically a peace and environment candidate who is deeply concerned about the Patriot Act, etc. The Green Party is no closer to my ideas than the Democrats or Republicans, really, but I have chosen them as the most likely source of positive change. And I hope to moderate the Green Party by my presence so it is no longer a fringe party.
I don't think that most Americans are "liberal", I think that most Americans are mainly self centered and terrified of change, regardless of ideology. The political process is corrupt, but quite honestly, I feel that we deserve what we're getting in terms of leadership. Blaming others does not lead to solutions. Hard work, sacrifice, and courage are the answers. I am more liberal than conservative, but I have more respect for grassroots conservatives than corporate PAC liberals. Honesty means more than ideology to me. That's not smoke, I really believe in America and all that naive crap I learned in school. Stop whining and go run for a public office and you'll learn respect for those people you're mocking now!

Answer 4

Check the facts in your questions. Most of Americans are not liberal and we do have a green party.

Answer 5

because our govt no longer sees it's role as protector of the people and the nation.

neither party any longer represents the true wishes of the people.

move by move, systematically, the govt has taken steps to remove themselves further from the wishes of the people they purport to represent.

the 9/11 and katrina disasters and others clearly demonstrated that in spite of the trillions we spend on our federal, state and local govts, they simply CAN'T FUNCTION in even the most basic way on behalf of the people any longer.

we are on our own - our govt is now controlled by the lowest among us, by people who are almost universally corrupt and routinely accept bribes (legally of course, since they make the laws).

why is trent lott resigning (thereby ripping off the people who elected him)?

because if he waited until the first of the new year, he would have to wait two whole years before some industry could hire him for big bucks to lobby on their behalf - thereby diminishing the rest of our voices.

he is just a bad example of a really bad crowd.

we are on our own.

Answer 6

because the silent majority is more moderate then liberal

Troll.
