I want to see a French style "round-robin" election system, with as many political parties as possible.
That is just about as unlikely as your idea that the "time is ripe" for a third-party is correct. Watch Johnny Noname run for President for the LP in 08, and watch him get locked out of the debates and black-balled by the media, just like 04. Have you forgotten how Badnarik and whatshisname from the Greens got JAILED for trying to get into the 2nd round of debates? Have you forgotton that only ONE media outlet even mentioned that?
Sorry... skip that... the last thing I want right now is to get into another slappy-fight with you over strategy...
You must have also forgotten that Americans are more dependent on government "services" now than they ever have been, even as I just heard on the news that Bush claims the booming economy is due to his tax cuts and the "clamp-down" on spending and services. I shit right there in the seat of my van.
Go ahead and keep on getting into this idea. Follow your thoughts on through to conclusion, and then explain to me HOW we get Americans from here to accepting personal responsibility for their own actions, then I will kiss your ass, even giving you ten minutes to draw a crowd and set up a webcam.
