The adherents of so-called third-parties would have much more success if they would build their power bases (if they have one worth any mention) within the national parties. Then, they'd be a force to be reckoned with. If they stay outside the party as a third party, they will lose. Show me an example from recent history where that is not the rule. If you are smart, and you have a following, take over the national party - don't be marginalized by going th e T.P. route. That's exactly what the major party establishment wants you to do. That is how they maintain their stranglehold.

Gov. Jesse Ventura here in Minnesota—and by a large margin over the Dem. and Rep. candidates. Of course I wasn't one of the ones who voted for him, thank goodness!

At the risk of repeating myself...How many more decades of history do we need to observe? Blackbird.

There are decades of proof the two party system is a scam. The last fifty-sixty years has been riddled with nothing but power grabs by elitist whose only interest is maintaining that power. Your approach does nothing but continue this for decades into the forseeable future. This Republic will not survive another ten or twenty years of this garbage, and I for one won't be spoonfed this any longer. Fact is, I started biting the hand that feeds me in '96, and have no intention of turning back. This I do for my children and their FREEDOM. I could give a RATS big behind about "The Party", screw 'em. It's as simple as enough people saying "enough is enough". Show me a Constitutional Conservative, they'll get my vote, once. If they prove to be anything other than that, it will not happen twice. Too bad for the stupid party and their "compassionate conservatism" (whatever the heck that is, liberals in drag???). They've lost another one. Blackbird.
