[quote=asianautica]SD Realtor, you and I are on the same track regarding this. That’s why I really hope this is the year a 3rd party will get a serious look. My vote will go to Bob Barr. Hopefully the Libertarian party will get enough vote to get public funding and a spot in the debate the next time around.[/quote]
Libertarian party will never be viable because too many people work for the government.
Libertarian party has been round for years. No one cares about supporting them.
Our system was designed to be grassroots system. All the power was put out in the local communities to elect their reps to congress. However, people think we are a top down system. They think we just elect a certain person as President and they will take care of everyting and get whatever they want done.
We think we can elect 535 Socialists to congress and expect the President to ride herd on the big mess and do it all by himself.
Right now Jesus Christ could be President and we would still be screwed because of our sorry congress.
We really need a grassroots movement to get the kind of ideals we want in the people we elect to congress. Once you get congress on your side then true reform can take place.
