Reply #39: Great idea - However, people have been talking about a "viable" third party for years in

[LaPera]

both the democratic & republican party voters are unhappy with their paid off politicians (mostly in the Democratic Party)....but it never happens because the Dems & the repugs have stacked the deck to make it near impossible for a third party to compete...recently the Ross Perot had moderate success, Greens made a run at it, Libertarian party is a joke, the republican party in disguise, Independents have a few elected people...

But nothing of any major significance to scare the corporate paid off existing members of both the two party system....Both the dems & repukes have worked well over a hundred years to make sure a viable third party is near impossible to produce any long term threat in this country, they only allow third parties to exists because it looks good, as if a real democracy is in place.

It takes a lot of money to go up against well funded candidates in the two major parties, and the corporations like it just the way it is....Real, true, campaign finance reform could do it....but again the corporation & their lobbyist with gobs of money and in the end the paid off Democratic & Republican parties feel happy & secure about their jobs.

Disgusting isn't it?

It better NOT happen with the Public Option for Universal Health Care...there better be a Public Option!
