"Ooow, it's never worked before." There's no use in trying." "Besides, it's easier simply being a patsy."

Hey, great attitude. Good thing Napoleon wasn't in charge of the Revolution.

There's the glass half-full that most of us have; the glass half-empty that scared little neocons have; and then there's Napoleon's empty glass, which by the way matches his credibility.

Come on quit dancing around the turd and make your case. How can a 3rd party be effective in our election process. It cant't. Its been proven. Even the libertarians have given up and a few have been elected as Republicans. They realize the only way to power in this country is within the frame work of the two party system.

You call for an end to corruption but not a change in the current two party system? Huh?

A third party has no chance until or if the system changes. If that ever happened then they'd have a great chance. Not too many voters happy with either party right now. Unfortunately the influence and dollars are tied up amongst the two parties.

You apparently have no idea how the elections work in this country. compare them to the brittish parlimentary system and you will see the underlying issue. Until then talking about thrid parties in this country is the defininton of menatl illness, doing the same thing over and over again hoping for a different result. My tag line sums that up real well.

Clean it up but stay the course. Can you not check the box for the libertarian candidate if you wish? Or are you saying it doesn't matter how we vote since it's rigged? I'd believe that after Bush.

So Napoleon said:

Was there really only one party before the 1850's? It was just the Democrats having the whole government to themselves? Or did the GOP only invent themselves when the Whigs got tired and went home?

"Can you not check the box for the libertarian candidate if you wish? "

You are free to not vote or vote and throw your ballot in the garbage can. It has the same effect as voting for any 3rd party. People think they are making a statement or making hay for a cause when they vote 3rd party where by doing so they have removed themselves from any system of change.

TK, the two party system is entrenched because of people like you. It can change if the majority wish it to change.

Makes sense that GH would see some one beating their head agains the wall and call them an optimist.
