Why do you think we have to vote for either party ? We don't have to vote for Dean or Bush.

Great. Let's reinvent the wheel. Let's add a Third Party to mix so that they can do exactly what the major parties are doing, and further confuse the voters in the process. Why didn't we all think of that?

A lot of conservatives said "screw you" to the GOP in '92 and stayed home on election day or voted for Perot or other Third Party. Now the GOP is appealing to the center for votes and the conservatives are wondering why.

Libertarians abound

"Perfectionists" abound

immature, irrational, childlike

They celebrated the 8 years of Clinton?

If they were so principled and viable they would run for elected office and create a perfect political America

Easier to disrupt, stay home, or vote Perot/Buchanan and blame Republicans for what they cause

Single issue basically

The LB goes round the circle and joins the radical leftists, Greenies, Naderites, drug gangs.

Write down their respective agendas

LBs do not like taxes (who does?)

Lefties don't pay taxes!

The U.S. Constitution does not define a two party system. It does not define a partisan system at all. It's not what the founders had in mind. Certainly, a two party system is almost as far as possible from what the founders had in mind.

Confuse the voters? Don't exclude voters with IQs over 25. And the rest probably don't vote anyway.
