It seems to me that we better start thinking about having several more parties than the Jackasses and the Elephants. With only two parties there is constant inability to achieve any compromise in anything that has to do with the all mighty Dollar. By having more than two parties we are not in constant gridlock because me being Jackass “If you don’t do it my way, I’m going to take my ball an go home. And Elee comes back with “go ahead and I won’t allow you to play in my yard.” That type of idiom will stay as long as we are bicameral instead of multicameral. “The Government should be of laws Not Men” was A quote from when I was In Jaycees’; it is very true. The Party should not control the man the men should control the party. All I see is a few jackasses and elephants that are the “Power” controlling the government. Damn it I want to see some joint resolution rather than three or four Elephants or three or four Jack Asses telling me what I can or can’t do is BULLSh#T
Are you suggesting the tea bags, that are just watered down GOP (Greedy Old Politicians whose only concern is disrespecting/destroying President Obama and they don’t care who they have to run over to meet this objective.
Shyron– I don’t think the concept of multiple party politics is promotion of the TEA… Other nations have multiple parties, and must therefore, develop a ‘power-sharing’ cooperative governance. I think there is the possibility that the sharing of power would re-introduce the concept of ‘compromise’ that seems to be lost, at this time, among the existing parties.
No party gets the world as they imagine it, because there are simply too many on the other side. We are varied… we are not united in anything except a national identity…. and maybe the use of a single passport.
Because it is set up now as a ‘winner take all’ election, we often silence the voices that don’t follow with the program.
One of the foundational benchmarks of this nation is a bicameral legislature. Another is the predominance of two parties. However, we are not constrained from additional parties here. There have been, are now, and will be well into the future any number of political parties in the USA.
But it is incumbent upon them to provide their own impetus to success. It’s not (nor has it ever, for any party) been a given.
Merritt, I think I agree with you. But the term “bi-cameral” refers to the number of houses in the legislature. We have the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. All the states also have a bi-cameral system, two houses i n the legislature, except Nebraska. Nebraska is a “unicameral” state, in the that it’s state legislature has only one house. And, as you might guess, they call themselves “senators.” Do we need more that two major political parties? Maybe we do. Maybe you’re right about that. Whatever we need, it’s not a bunch of folks on both sides saying, “no compromise.” Don’t they know that had it not been for compromise, there would be no United States of America?
I most certainly agree with these sentiments. The two-party system has got to go. I propose a REAL third party alternative with the viability to get things done… It will be called the Contrarian National Party- (root word: Contrary), because it’s all WRONG and ALL THE WRONG PEOPLE ARE IN CONTROL! The Pigs in Congress, the Pigs in the Boardroom, etc. are not worried about working people. We, the working people, must begin to represent ourselves. Most Republican politicians are businessmen: old, wealthy, Southern and white… Most Democrat politicians are lawyers, with their attention directed to where the money is. Who is representing the little guy? We will, that is who. You in?

We need an UPRISING. We need to preach Solidarity. It is catching on… Union, non-union, employed, unemployed, formerly Middle Class, Working Poor… We’re all in the same boat. Therefore, I am suggesting a Third Party alternative. Not a Green party (tree huggers), Libertarian(resembles GOP), or Tea Party (which is for little girls), but a serious, viable third party alternative which could be called The National Contrarian Party.
Contrarian- root contrary- We’re against it ALL because IT’S ALL WRONG, AND ALL THE WRONG PEOPLE ARE IN CONTROL! We’ll tell the Democrat politicians: “You won’t work FOR us?! Fine. Welcome to your NEW REALITY. You will be working WITH US.” We will get OUR PEOPLE elected.
We will steal left-leaning Republicans from the right, right-leaning Democrats from the left, the union worker, the non-union worker who wishes he was union, the unemployed, the working poor, the formerly middle-class… The independent fence sitters (sway vote) Let’s lock them in and take the country back in lock-step, sway them all to our cause… A LOUD, PROUD, UNITED answer to the Tea Party. All those the Democrats have refused to represent. Put your money where your mouth is. Republicrat, Democan, thy’re all the same thing and they are interchangeable.. This game of PING-PONG needs a stop put to it. Most Democrat politicians are LAWYERS. Most Republican politicians are BUSINESSMEN. I ask then, WHO REPRESENTS US REGULAR WORKING FOLKS? The answer is, NOBODY. They are the parties of OLD MONEY and that is exactly who they represent. WE CAN SELF-REPRESENT and really throw the bums out!
We will insist upon no labels, other than Contrarians. That means we are neither Socialist, nor Communist, nor Marxist, nor Federalist or statist. We are pro-Capitalism, but not without proper checks and balances. Corporate green Capitalism run amok and out of control, like we have today, goes against our principles of fairness and equality. We are pro-gun, pro-choice, pro-borders, pro-union, pro-jobs, pro American… We are anti-Illegal immigrant, anti-Amnesty, anti-Import, anti-foreign aid, anti-Oil Wars… We are the ones with the will and know-how to get things DONE.
WE are not a THREAT to this COUNTRY, WE ARE THIS COUNTRY and are just what the doctor ordered.
I think we should declare WAR on the money-mongers.
i am living in leipzig germany, where there was just a HUGE gathering in one of the main plazas during which people were celebrating the 22nd anniversary of the overthrow of a government based on special treatment for apparatchiks (political insiders).
i think it is high time that folks in the USA figure out how to follow the lead of east europeans, if not the recent struggles for democracy and justice which have been roiling in the “near east” and elsewhere….
As I am often heard to say, it will take us light years to catch up to society in Europe. We are now inundated with so called christians and nut cases who want to run this place.
