You're absolutely right John!!
Americans need to remember that this country is called the United States of "AMERICA"
NOT the United States of "DNC" or the United States of "GOP" !

The two party system has done a brilliant job of getting most Americans to fight and
bicker amongst themselves while politicians rob us blind !!!!!
And as a result America has been in a steady state of decay!!

As for solutions I think the two most helpful thing would be to:
1) Bring back the constitution (As Ron Paul has been pointing out)
2) End corruption and corporate control of politicians/policies (As Ralph Nader points out.)

The next thing America needs to do is become self-sufficient! Meaning we should take all
the Billions of dollars we give freely to the oil companies and use it to grow evolve and
invent new green energy sources.
i.e.
Use the money to give to US colleges for R&D, give grants to electric and hydrogen car
makers (Wrightspeed Inc.).
And be fore people go off and say it a waste, remember if we started Clean energy R&D
(on a large scale) back in oh say Sept 9 2001, by now we could afford to not by oil form
Iran or Venezuela. Meaning we would not be financially supporting those crazy regimes!

America can become finical successful if we were to invent and develop a good clean
energy alternative to fossil fuels.

Well in short there are many good ideas out there to help America get out of it's current
rut, but as long as we keep the REP-DEM Monopoly in power those ideas won't be used and
Americans will suffer!

I say everyone after your states primary, re-register as a new party
(Constitutional party, United we stand party, etc...). If nothing else it will send a message
to the politicians that Americans will stand against the destruction of America.....
(Also you can always register back to you lesser of two evils' party if you want.)

And if everyone votes(for Prez) late at your states election you can see if your state has
a clear winner. If your state does have a unequivocal winner and you have no need to
support your lesser of two evil candidate you can vote for a third party candidate !
(Stay with me on this one)
Remember the popular vote does not choose the pres., but it can give financial support
to other candidates (if they get enough popular support). So if know you know your party
can not win or your party can not loose(that's why you will need to vote late) you can
vote for a candidate that had good ideas that the REPS&DEMS do not use/discuss.

i.e. Nader makes a lot of great point about corporate corruption and has many solutions
but the REPS&DEMS just sweep it under the carpet! Or Ron Paul has pointed out how the
REPS&DEMS do not use the Constitution as they should !
Bob Barr might make some wave to this election...

So if a lot of "AMERICANS" vote for these candidates(Even if you have to write them in)
the ruling powers will take note that Americans are abandoning their "Blind Allegence" to
the REP-DEM Monopoly.
