Washington was correct on parties. But people tend to organize themselves in groups.
Right now, both political parties have sold out to special interest groups inimical to the the American People.
The Democrats in the recent past have presented themselves as the party of farmers and the working man and labor unions. They have instead become shanghaied by radical extremist groups - gays, PETA nuts, environmentalist wackos, communists, socialists and Aztlan freaks among others.
The Republicans in the recent past have represented themselves as the party of patriotism, pro-American interests, traditional values, and of free enterprise.
They have been taken over by extreme free-market capitalists,one-worlders and globalist corporate interests whose primary loyalties are not to America, but to profit at any price.
We need and deserve an alternative to both these pandering monstrosities. If the Republicans can't win this next election, they are and should be finished as a political party. The Democrats will never go or reform themselves unless they are faced with an effective opposition. The Republican Party has demonstrated it is incapable of serving that function as too many Republicans are sympathetic to the same radical interests which destroyed the Democrat Party.
I'll go one step further...the "two parties" scratch each others backs to keep it that way. But eventually one overwhelming ideology will engulf the other and we will be left with a pseudo party to keep up the appearances of the two party system. I'm afraid we are more than halfway there already.
