Do we need a third major political party?

LOL, yep that sums it up.

I couldn't resist!

*This about says it all... *

Whether Democrat or Republican, I think you'll get a kick out of this!

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, 'What is Politics?'

Dad says, 'Well son, let me try to explain it this way:

I am the head of the family, so call me The President.

Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the

Government.

We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call yo u the People.

The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.

And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.

Now think about that and see if it makes sense.'

So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.

Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check

on him.

He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.

So the little boy goes to his parent's room and finds his mother asleep.

Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door

locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny.

He gives up and goes back to bed.

The next morning, the little boy says to his father, 'Dad, I think I

understand the concept of politics now.'

The father says, 'Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think

politics is all about.'

The little boy replies, 'The President is screwing the Working Class while

the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future

is in deep shit.

Darrick,

If Ron Paul is who you are speaking of then I have to agree with you. He is a true revolutionary. I wished he would have done better. The only thing I think that hurt his campaign was his views on the war and foreign policy.

I agree that the 2 party system only works when people get involved, the only problem is people dont. That is why you see the 3rd parties only showing with a small percentage, because only a small percentage care. Most look at only whether a candidate is either "R" or "D" and vote the party line because there parents did or whatever. I honestly dont know what the answer is, but somethings gotta give.

I don't know if a third party is the answer . . we just need candidates who understand the average American and the struggle they go through in their daily life. Politics is all about the money and who has it and unfortunately those individuals don't have to worry about gas prices or buying groceries and other everyday issues that we are faced with.

Am I already worn out by all the presidential primaries?

The more I hear candidates from both parties, sometimes spurred on by the media, downplaying the qualifications of their opponents or potential opponents, the more I come to believe none of them are qualified.

We have many matters confronting Americans right now and few of these matters are being directly addressed by the candidates.

Negative insinuations never solved a single problem.

I think it is the perfect time for a third party. I think that soon the American people will demand it. I agree with Darrick that neither party represents us.

I honestly think that if we would have had a third party in this election Ron Paul would have done so much better. He had the so much support and yet because he wasn't a part of the "big two" he didn't get much airtime from the news channels. Such a shame, because he would have made such a difference and his voting record will back that statement up.
