My_name_is_not_Larry said:Less than half of Americans give favorable ratings to either of the major political parties.
the 2 party system makes it that they're the only choice. What do think this thread is about? Porno?taxedout said:But they will still vote for one of them.
People just love to be lied to.
jamesrage said:I think more than just two parties need to be reconized on the ballot besides democrat,republican and independant.MOre options would proably ensure that politicians actualyl represent us instead of globalist corporations,illegal aliens and other vermin.

.......don't answer that.
I'm not trying to bash the 2 parties. I just want more political parties, more people to choose from on the ballot. Take england for instance, 14 political parties: 3 are major while the other 11 still have some represantation in the government. It would be great if America could be like that, a diverse government for diverse people I say.taxedout said:People like talk a good show, but when it comes down to it, they are too
comfortable to vote for anyone else. We are comfort seeking creatures, and do not like to step out of our safe zones. We just like to give the appearance of individualism. Bashing the two parties in a poll is about as much of a political statement that most will ever make.

If its against the law to have a monopoly in the economic system, then it should be against the law to have a monopoly in the political system.The Real McCoy said:monopoly

tecoyah said:Our country, as it is, functions with what is fundamentally a One party system at this point. Though the cosmetics vary slightly, there is very little to differentiate the Rep/Dem political machines.
Befuddled_Stoner said:I couldn't agree more. The democrats are supposed to be the more liberal party, but those sackless slimeballs would never dare to think about ending the war on drugs. Not only would more parties reduces corruption and increase efficacy, it would lance the partisan vitriol that is all the rage these days. Somehow, I doubt we'd have a national debt approaching $9 trillion, if we had more than just tweedle dee and tweedle dum at the helm.
Inuyasha said:A 1950's definition of our 2 party system:
"What's the difference between the Democrats and the Republicans?
The Dempcrats say, 'We must do something.'
and the Republicans say, 'We must do something, but not right now,' "
jamesrage said:It also amuses me that democrats are supposed to the party of the working man but they have done nothing to stop illegal immigration.Illegal immigration hurts the working man's wages.
Inuyasha said:And what have the Republicans done about it?
The new immigration bill is the SOS in a different package. The minute you say amnesty it indicates you plan to do nothing about the problem
I agree. Mexico might as well just invade us, there isn't much stopping them from doing that.Inuyasha said:And what have the Republicans done about it? Nothing either. The new immigration bill is the SOS in a different package. The minute you say amnesty it indicates you plan to do nothing about the problem

jamesrage said:I think these bills are nothing more than a time to kiss voter *** time legislation.The purpose of this type of legislation is so that the politicians can sit there and say "Hey I tried do something about illegal immigration,vote for me".Most of the sheeple vote for these politicians thinking there will be more attemps at curbing illegal immigration and doing something about our borders.When in reality all they are getting is more open border policy and the selling our jobs down the river.
