Why the 2 partys.

To give the illusion of choice

The 2 party system is a mathmatical reality of the system of voting.

In every system of voting that allows one vote per person, the system will eventually break down (devolve) into a two party system.

People will gravitate to the party which is closest (or, should I more accurately say, not the furthest away) to thier personal beliefs. This is very dangerous because, as we see in politics today, our beliefs and principles get hijacked with ulterior motives. What started out as an arena for freedom has become a quagmire of muddy principles.

I truly believe that freedom is polular - which is actually the basis of BOTH the Democrats and Republicans (in thier original form) - okay, you can stop laughing now :0) -- But it is true, in the original forms.

Democrats are correct that it is not the governments' place to determine what we can and cannot do with our bodies (so long as we do not affect other people) and the Republicans are correct that it is not the governments' perogative to take from one person to give to another (legalized theft)

The Democratic (big D) party has been twisted over the years to Socialism. Thier platform that was intended to fight back against the government regulation of individual freedoms has moved (Left, if you want to call it that) to a state of nanny control over our lives and our economics. Rob Peter to give Paul what he wants (or purports to NEED) - people no longer seem to understand that this is an affront to liberty.

The Republican (big R) party has slowly devolved into Statism. Thier platform of individual economic freedom has become twisted (to the Left, again, if that is what you would like to call it) to a platform of big government controlling our actions (although they still want, in whatever small portion that is left, to attempt to guard our economic freedoms)

Both parties are wrong most of the time. In particuar 'Issue' positions, they are right now and again (which is why they still win elections) but the majority of their parties have gone astray from any principle of freedom.

How can you fix it? I propose this:

Every person gets 2 votes. One 'For' and one 'Against'
This would give rise to (at least) a three party system (maybe more) and would serve to re-align this country to the beliefs of her citizens.

Run the scenario in your head, or on paper. This system will work - very effectively. - I would happily explain this in even greater detail if anyone would like to continue this discussion.

The two party system is a cover used to press forward with the neocon agenda. Like most things political the two party system allows the public to feel like they are rooting for the right or wrong as the case may be. At one point in time it did matter which party you were affiliated with, but most Americans FINALLY woke to the realization that there is in fact only one true party, and that was the party of politicos that voted to sell our country to illegal immigrants with an amnesty program.

There are other parties out there, and with a little research you will find that like the Ron Paul campaign the media has marginalized them for years. I feel that this is where much of the anger that we see in our campaign comes from, people who have never been involved in politics but have been awakened by Dr. Paul's message. They do not realize that the media slander, and misrepresentation of candidates has been going on for years and years and they are just starting to feel the sting of a candidate that is getting the full service corporate lashing.

My theory about the one party two names is certainly fact. Just look at congress now. Liberals shouted the battle cry and won the senate, but what did the left do when they got there? So much talk from Pelosi, and you see now that there is not a peep. It is hard to shout over the crowd while the military industrial complex is lining your pockets with hard cash!

Do a little research on Libertarians runs for president, and although you will not find as much information exposing the two parties working together unified in taking over and making sure the sheeple stay in line, but information like Michael Badnarik's run in which he was not allowed to even attend the debates at all, and when he tried to enter he was arrested. This is represented in this article from 2004:

And take note that they mentioned at the time "Fox News up until now has had an unwritten policy on even mentioning Badnarik's name" sound familiar?? If Badnarik had raised 20 million dollars it would have been a little different, as a matter of fact he would have received the same attention Dr. Paul is getting in the media as I type this.

This is why I feel that there are many many many independents out there ready to jump for the Ron Paul Revolution due to so many years of being ignored and marginalized by being called the same names wakos, weirdoes, nut jobs, and so on. Key words that main stream America accepts as fact because their champions on the air say so.

My fear is that they will steal this election through voter fraud and any other method available to them, and let’s not forget that they have the money and the weapons to make it so. I hope at least one person reads this and is better educated about the political misdeeds of not only the political parties, but the corporate owned media and their board of directors that feel that a free America is a threat to them, as the saying goes "if it aint broke don’t fix it" and when you make over 500K a year and get tax discounts the system is definitely not broken for you! So please educate your children and let them know that the history of this country and fully understanding it will make them powerful, and teach them of the misleading MSM and how they are looking out for their own interests ONLY and not the American people's by any stretch of the imagination and one day with an educated populace perhaps things will change in this country. I pray it is before all that we are and have become is lost to a few wealthy, greedy, traitors and their families.

Dam politicians, not rivers!
