Today, The people of America are led to believe we have a 2 party system and scream for a 3rd party to come save the day.
But do we really have a 2 party system, if policy is the same between the parties. Making it really a one party system. Big Government and intervention......
No wonder there are screams of another party.
The thing is, the system is rigged so there will never be a real 2 party system, let alone a multiple party system.
So if both parties are in favor of minorities having equal rights as white people, that Paul seems to be not in favor of, it's a terrible one party system?
And yesterday's Supreme Court decision removing some of the few remaining limits on political corruption -- which most of you cons applauded -- will only make matters worse.

The inexorable result of the winner-takes-all system the founders instituted is two parties. Stop and think about it. Both parties have a vested interest in blocking a third, so they have skewed the laws their way, but even if they hadn't, we would still have a two party system.
We have the illusion of a 2 party system but really, the two parties are more similar then they are different. A third party will never be allowed access in any significant way.
^Yes, we have an illusion of a two party system, thanks to our (multi-national) Corporately owned Media which portrays Republicans and Democrats as vastly different from one another.
Obama was the perfect politician for the Pupper Masters following the disastrous Bush years. At first glance Obama appears to be the complete opposite of Bush in terms of looks and labels but one only needs to look at his actions to see how remarkably similar he is to the prior administration. Of course our Media is still representing him as something different depending on who the audience is they are trying to reach.
All Presidents the past few decades have been NeoCon Globalists. They all didn't "coincedentally" have the same warmongering and economically suicidal policies. International Banks and Corporations own our Government. The Federal Reserve is complicit.

You can only give so much to each guy/gal directly. That didn't change.
What did change is that I'm not limited who I give it to.
Thanks to the tea party pulling the entire nation even further right, even a centrist like Obama is painted as a communist socialist dictatorial tyrant.

Say that again?
Where was the 2 party system in the constitution?
There use to be multiple parties running.
