If the libertarian party, or any party other than the reps or dems gather enough supporters and funding, surely they can work something out. |

"George Washington feared two threats to America above all others. First, the corrupting influence of political parties with their spirit of faction and selfishness; and second, the weakening of the influence of religious morality on public life. On both counts he was right - the Democrats and Republicans have betrayed us, and squandered the Founders'' legacy of liberty and justice. Countless government officials in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government take their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution with no understanding of the responsibilities that oath entails." http://www.constitutionparty.com/
I actually think the problem is not with the issues that each party stands for, but with the people in the two dominating parties.

I actually think the problem is not with the issues that each party stands for, but with the people in the two dominating parties. | Eew, no thanks. Far-Right politics are not my bag. The same goes for the Reform Party. Pat Buchanan. I don't think I have to say any more than that.
At any rate, the Constitution Party is all about controlling people's lives and destroying the separation between Church and State. They think that it is entirely copasetic to mandate prayer in school, and what have you. No thanks. |
