Obviously, we must have a third party that is truly a third party, since, actually, we have truly only been a one-party country now for the past 3 or 4 decades. As the late George C. Wallace of Alabama stated in the late 1960's when he ran as a third party candidate, (paraphrased) "We currently have two parties that we could call tweedle dee or tweedle dumb, because, as per their agendas and policies, their is not a dime's worth of difference between them." That was true then, and it is more true today than ever before. The Democrats bash Republican policies and when elected they change nothing, except to make more bureaucracy and more spending of money we don't have. The Republicans bash the Democrat policies, and when elected, do nothing to change anything. Tax, Tax, and the average American Citizen gets nothing for his or her money, except more and more dictatorial laws being enforced by Dictatorial Bureaucracies and more and more personal freedoms being stripped from us. Yes, we need and I support a real alternative to this. A party whose mission is to disband the local, state, and federal bureaucracies, and get a representative form of government that represents my interest and the interest of every other working, tax paying American, and not the Interests of The Highest Bidders who buy power by putting up money to the candidates who get elected and funnel money back to it's contributors with favored status legislation and laws, and for those who get elected by appealing to Welfare Bums who contribute nothing and vote for their candidates, such as Obama and Clinton, because they promise to give them something more for nothing.
