Ronin, I misspoke and said traitor when you said the world "UNAMERICAN". To me the two terms are interchangeable or close. That still does not change my point that you would have a hard time being a cop if you looked at half the population in that light.

Bailey... I think the solution is to weaken the power of the parties and instead make the system more dependent on the actual person you vote for. Or find some other way to make it more than just 2 parties that always control everything.

I don't think there's a problem with our electoral system. I think the problem lies with an oppressive federal government that far exceeds it's Constitutional powers. I'll also concede that problem has been caused by both parties. I will, however, state that in general the republican party is far more in favor or downsizing the federal government than the democrat party is. Just another in a long list of reasons not to vote for democrats.

Bailey do you honestly feel free when we only have two choices...and those two parties rig the rules to keep out all other candidates? Is that good for out nation? What did the founding fathers say about parties?

You have far more than two choices. You may have only two realistic choices in terms of a candidate you like being elected. But that's not the fault of the system or either of the parties.

And potential candidates don't get into this game blindly. They know what they're doing when they choose to run. It's a personal choice.
