They never anticipated and frankly disapproved of political parties.

How can you disapprove of something you never anticipated?

Either way, we're no more likely going to stop the two party system then the world is to throw away all nuclear weapons. No parties would become one party against a multitude of helpless factions.

Ironically, the lesser of two evils two party system is itself the lesser of two other evils. ;-)

Nicely taken out of context. I was speaking of the TWO party system in the post to which I was responding. I should have anticipated your ilk doing that and apologize to the forum for the lack of specificity.

How positively Whiggish of you. I'm not so clairvoyant, nor am I advocating such; I was instead clarifying the historical record. The very idea of a Democratic Republican Party, Inc. was unknown at the time the Constitution was written and implemented.

Go ahead and support said bald-faced assertion. I want a cogent argument supported by fact or reference.
