(can they all be called "third" parties?) can we have someone run for office who openly admits he doesnt fit anywhere, and have that person actually WIN? maybe in the smaller sections of civil service, but no way in a higher office. or am i talking out of my ass here? i think the two party system continues to thrive simply because most americans are under-informed. it is very simply to read through the democratic or republican agendas, figure out which one you mostly kinda agree more with, and then just vote for that party. i myself am guilty of voting for "smaller" offices based on political party alone. hmmm.. more to say but "the phone is ringing, oh my god" okay now for the serious comment.
