Time for a third party?

Actually..I think the Republican Party will be the 3rd party in the next election cycle...

Overeach!

Ralph Nader is the Hugh Heffner of the political world: old and shriveled up.

He gave Florida to Bush. Glad to see VL supports him.

Two parties representing 300,million people!!!? It's absurd. We don't have any choices, and you redneck freaks run around with your stupid little flags acting like were Free or something.

AMEN!!!! Challenger(s) - not just POTUS, but get a majority in Congress too!

Absolutely! Both parties need a good shaking up.

The probelm with third parties is that it hands the election to either the Dems or Republicans anyway. In 1992 Paul caused Bush not to win and gave the election to Clinton. In 2000 Nader gave Florida and the election to Bush. They just take awy votes from one of the main parties and hands it to the other party.

So are you happy with the Republican party Viking? Do you feel it represents you and your interests? What about you Vicelord? Are the Democrats doing it for you? You both seem more interested in cheering for your team than in what is really good for the country as a whole.

For those on the left- we could call it the Socialist- or Communist party.

For those who care about a more limited, smaller government like the constitution states and liberty and civil rights-

We could call them Libertarians!

Yes- lets have a third party- for those on the right- we could call "Corporate Americas Useful idiots" Party.

For those on the left- we could call it the "Progressive" party.

For those who think limited, smaller government sounds good-

We could call them Libertarians, or "The republicans embarassed to have voted for Bush" Party, or the "I really don't know what the f*** i'm talking about" Party

or the Selfish Party

I loath people that are above it all...Like "you're both wrong"...No Chickadee, there's right and wrong and what the Tea Baggers wanna do to the country is wrong. Do you have any kids? You want them making 35k/year with no vacation for 50 years, then die? Thats thier future
