The poltical reality in America is that we have a TWO party system.
Sure, there are quite a few smaller independent parties.
But the candidates from these parties almost NEVER win an election.
Try naming a Congressperson, Senator, Governor or President that hasn't been affiliated with the Democrat or Republican Party. It's virtually impossible to do.
I'm a registered Republican, but only because I detest what the Democrat party has become, and think the Republicans are slightly better.
Sadly, when I vote, I'm invariably voting AGAINST the Democrat, not actually for the Republican.
This country desperately needs a viable right wing 3rd Party to compete with the existing power structure and shake things up.
I'm thinking of starting the Anti-Islam Party.
The Dems have their donkey.
The Reps have their elephant.
The mascot for the Anti-Islam Party will be a pig.
I still haven't decided whether it should be Porky, or Arnold from Green Acres.
