You could be right, ss, but the last time we elected a president who wasn't democrat or republican was 1848. Since then there were 2 elections in which it seemed like a possibility, but both of those had the same result:
1912 - When Theo Roosvelt was pres (1901-1909) he was a republican, then he decided he didn't want to be pres anymore so we elected a different republican (Wm Howard Taft) in 1908. Then in 1912 Theo wanted to be pres again, but he couldn't be a republican, because Taft was the incumbent and he wanted a 2nd term, so Theo had to run on the Bull Moose platform, but all he accomplished was to divide the republican vote giving the election to the democrat (Woodrow Wilson). Same kinda thing happened in...
1992 - Ross Perot got lots of votes, but, again, he divided the republican vote and Clinton became pres.
Sometimes I like the idea of a new party, but it's probably not going to happen in our lifetime.
Get off the couch, Pooky
The sparkle in the snake oil Obama is selling has worn off. All those "Change Rocks" people have gone back into political suspended animation. Obama has made the world safe for investment banks to keep on making billions.
We need change all right, from either demoncrats or repulsivesans. We need many strong, vibrant, robust political parties in order to have a real debate that will lead to real change. Let's start with making voting mandatory (meaning something like a $25 fine if you don't do the least of your civic duty).
The alternative is the current state of affairs when a populist candidate comes in and bums out all the idealists when he can't walk on water. This makes people turn off even more to the political process.
bravo gonzo!!
i agree, but let's leave voting a right and not a requirement....if you don't like either candidate you should have the option....or mebbe a write in?? we sure as hell do need other options though. i for one am sick of the bloated money-sucking parties we have now.
