Since both parties are ultimately corrupt and controlled by the same puppet masters and are working against the citizens, the only answer is... yes.

Someone needs to emerge and break the strangle hold of the corrupted 2 main parties, which really are two sides of the same coin.

No. The gridlock is bad enough as it is.

Ross Perot was probably the closest person in history to go as a third partier and it didn't work out too well for him.

No parties, voters vote on a complex list of issues and the closest candidate to their overall vote is voted for...

Third party or no party. There is too much power for the parties to go away and it's an uphill fight for a third party. People may get fed up enough with the two dominant parties and support another. It certainly can't hurt.

Yes, very much so. We need another person on the stage that isn't paid for by Exxon or the solar industry

What makes you think that the third party won't get co-opted either? Rand Paul got corrupted soon after entering Congress, although some say he always had ulterior motives, which I maintain. We don't have a political problem in this country, we have a cultural problem. Corruption in government is an extension of society itself. A democratically elected government is an extension of the society that it has jurisdiction over.

I agree with no party or third party. Any candidate from the Democrat or Republican party will undoubtedly be supported and thus owned by Goldman Sachs, et al. The problem is our monopolized media will only give time to those pre-screened and bribed by the banksters.


Sachs was Obama's #1 supporter in 2008 and Romney's in 2012. We need to rot out the global banksters that have no allegience to the people or future of this nation.

What makes you think a third party won't get bought out by the rich?
