The only thing keeping 3rd parites from winning is the perception that they can't win.

People are getting more fed up by the hour. It is only a matter of time before the two party duopoly shatters.

Given the left has control of the media and the schools, it may end up being a one party system. We have to break their hold on the schools.

Maybe it is perception, but a lot of time as in this case perception is reality....... Down the long road maybe it will be different

"The only thing keeping 3rd parites from winning is the perception that they can't win."

No, what is keeping third parties from gaining any headway is a combination of needing enormous amounts of money and the fact that neither major party will give up its stranglehold on the 2-party system. Third parties are prevented from taking part in debates, and even if they rise above that obstacle, big dollars and carefully contrived "rules" keep them off the ballots. It shouldn't be that way, but it is. I don't know the answer.

Maybe you can discuss that next Sunday or at least at the FReeper meeting the following Saturday. I look forward to meeting you.
