Reply #64: Brown did not run as a Tea Bagger .... that is nonsense.

[JoePhilly]

The tea bag dopes voted for a run of the mill moderate GOP candidate against a terrible Dem candidate.

So you do think that the 2 party system stinks ...

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 I don't hate it, I think it's outdated and no longer the best option for this country.

I'm not sure how to read that except to see it as a call for "more parties" ... 3, 4, maybe more. Am I wrong?

Personally, I'd be fine with 3, 4, 5 parties ... and if I disliked the current two enough, I'd get involved with the creation of another.

But I don't have a reason to do that.

I think that the GOP is totally and completely crazy, and that the Democratic Party is far more representative of the sane people in the country. Depending on where you live, and the nature of the people there, your Dem candidate may be more moderate or more liberal, but usually reflecting the people they represent.

So, I have no problem with more parties. But I don't feel the need to create one. Some sound like they do. And I encourage them.
