You sound young.  If so, then it is up to you and your generation to change things.  And you can do it.  But it will not be easy.  Given that most young people dont vote, you can create a third party and win if you get your generation to vote.

Check out the above link. I agree I am disenchanted with both parties.

Good article, I too am disenchanted with both parties. I just think the republicans are the lessor of two evils.

I just think the republicans are the lessor of two evils.

Agreed.  If they stuck to their platform, I would actually enjoy voting FOR them instead of AGAINST the democrats.

Yeah, all Democrat's want to do just what you say. You've clearly studied the subject long and hard. You forgot to mention quite a few things though. I won't mention them, but suffice it to say, nobody's safe as long as there are Democrat's.

Sooner or later they'll all be in jail working for 15 cents an hour and noone will have to worry about them anymore. Then we can finally have the one party system that this country so richly deserves.

I know, you said "neither Repulican nor Democrat", (while accusing the Democrat's of every social ill possible, while leaving the Republican's virtually untouched), but the way the elections are set up, it's nearly impossible to get anyone from a
"third party" on the ticket much less for them to have a chance at winning. It's just not that easy to get so many people to void themselves of anything that might be considered a position that the opposition holds. Cloning is a fine art. Propaganda and smear campains cost money. Lots of it. This pretty much eliminates any 3rd party candidate that is not filthy rich, or extremely famous, or both.

Your vote only counts if you are voting for someone you really agree with. But that isn't really up to you. The candidates are bought and paid for. You get to pretend that you're choosing the better of two. Otherwise you're "throwing your vote away".

If you are at the helm of Halliburton, Enron or a major oil company etc. etc.. Ignore all of the previous statements.
Your vote counts. And boy how it does! You'll be making public policy soon!

I used to make a big deal about knowing exactly where I am in the spectrum. Now, I really don't care. I'm like you, its sorta, "Heh, oh well." I expect both parties will beat the crap out of each other before '08, or even the '06 election.
