I think the two party system is a deterrent to talking about real change. The differences between Republicrats and Demopublicans is not much-- if any anymore. Do you really see a difference? Not in rhetoric-- but in ACTIONS? The major reason I am a Libertarian is that it IS a party of clearly defined ideas and not based on unfounded ideology. How much more basic can you get-- it is my life and my free will-- period. As long as I do not hurt someone else leave me alone. In the last 2 years the LP has gone from a handful of elected positions to over 300 nationwide. And that number is starting to grow at an even faster rate. And it is the LARGEST "third party" in the country. There are some aspects of the LP that I do not particularily support-- fees for police, fire, schools, etc. But, from a civil rights and law standpoint I am 100% behind the LP's platform. The rhetoric of only two parties work is absolute bullshit-- just a spin to confuse the real issue that this country's political system is in VERY bad shape. The more voices and ideas the better. Or, do you believe that two heads are better than three? Ten? One hundred? That is not logical....
