"Yes, it's pathetic. If I wanted those numbers, I would have voted for the Democrat." Assuming for now that a third Party could not win (sad... but perhaps the Libertarians can at least focus attention on serious issues, and solutions), it seems that you are still ignoring another alternative: Divided Government. It seems that the only progress we as a nation have made in recent years toward balancing the budget... was when divided government stimied big spending plans from EITHER Party. (More specifically, I'd have to say that we saw progress when a REPUBLICAN Congress was paired with a DEMOCRAT in the White House. I mention this particular political combination only because when we had a DEMOCRAT Congress and a Republican President in the 1980s, the deficits and national debt grew even more then they have in the past few years....) There is MUCH to ADMIRE in Gridlock.
