I agree but the control the rules and are not going to change the rules if it hurts that control random thoughts Send a noteboard - 29/07/2011 04:45:09 PM
Frustration with the status quo is approaching the level where people will begin to demand a third party but the parties are more entrenched now than they were back then and whichever side tries to form a third party first loses because the way the system is set up now the side that holds together would grab all the power. The tea party may not like a lot of the republicans but they damn sure don't want to do anything to empower the left. The same is true for the far left.

If you want to have a third party with influence you have to build from the local governments where the risk and the cost of entry is lower. Odds are still pretty long but least you can have a shot at accomplishing something other than the opposite of what you want. Voting green party in 2012 will just help Perry get to the White House. You have to choose your poison.
