Reply #60: The GOP will have to invade the White House to get in it in 2012.

You think that a Dem in a red district will win by running as a far left liberal?

Scott brown won here in Mass, a solidly blue state, as a Teabagger, so why not? Nothing ventured nothing gained. Constantly settling for less, or not even having the courage to try in the first place, is a rather sad way to approach life, don't you think? As Wayne Gretzky once said, "100% of the shots you don't take don't go in."

If you HATE the 2 party system, which the OP clearly does, and YOU seem to agree that the 2 party system sucks ...

Talk to the OP. I don't hate the the two party system, I just no longer believe it's the best way to achieve a better country for all of us. The more voices heard the better the chances are that a good answer will come of it. We're limiting ourselves to a very narrow band of opinions in the two party system, and that's not good in any aspect of life, especially politics. I don't hate it, I think it's outdated and no longer the best option for this country. Why is it set in stone that only two parties are acceptable? When you buy a TV or a car do you only want two brands to choose from, or would you like a wider range of options so you can choose the one you feel is best? Don't you like having those multiple options to choose from? I bet you do, so why so afraid of it politically?

It's funny, you talk of me only wanting to be agreed with, yet how often have you told others here to join another party because they didn't agree with you? I'm a Democrat. I've never once told someone to join another party. You do it all the time. Which of us two only wants people who agree with us? It's not me, Joe.

you only hate the 2 party system because it does not work the way YOU want?

Do you only love the 2 party system because it works the way YOU want?

But if it did, you'd be fine with the 2 party model?

But if it didn't you'd be fine with a multiple party model?

You need to pick.
