i agree with you on the need for a third party. but i believe what you really need to do is get the special interest fuckers out of the government. there will always be corruption in all government and in any country, but here it is blatantly tolerated. the american people know that these assholes are stuffing their pockets with special interest money for votes on laws that ultimately fuck over the american people. meanwhile, everyone sits by and watches the healthcare system get more fucked up, the drug market get more expensive and unattainable for the elderly, and housing on a decent street becomes out of the question for even a household that makes 150k a year, and don't get me started on gas prices. i think that no matter who is in there, its not the politicians making laws, its big business. they have so much money to buy the laws the way they want them and the politicians fuck the people in the ass as much as they will take it.

There definitely needs to be some sort of third party in the US. The problem is that all third parties in the US are radical, and another problem is the cash required to start a third party. If I could start a third party and get media attention, I would, but that is out of the question since the two big parties control everything.
Another problem with starting a third party in this country is that people aren't educated. I don't think people know that the top 1% of the country owns 33% of the nations wealth, and other amazing figures like that. They don't know this because the rich people of the United States (which I refer to as royalty) keep them ignornant to the facts. It is kind of gross when you think about it. There NEEDS to be change for anything to get done for the people.
Another problem with starting a third party in the United States is that the government itself is set up to keep you out. You need so many signatures, and so many this and that, that just keeps you out of the whole political process itself.
While it does seem impossible to create a successful third party in the US, it isn't. With technology such as the internet, I am sure it is possible to find some like minded people that can possibly spread the word of your party. Let it also be known that Ross Perot got 19% of the popular vote in the 1992 election, which is a HUGE amount of votes. He did this with mostly his own money, but if a third party does get a big following, it is highly possible to take some seats in the house or even the presidency.
Right now, in my opinion, is the best time to start a third party. The country is very divided, and there are a lot of issues that either party can't seem to figure out. They can't figure out these issues because it would mean reaching into the pocketbooks of their friends (the rich), so they make it look like it is impossible to resolve these important issues, when in reality it isn't all that hard. The American people deserve better than this.
Whew... after writing all of this I feel the need to make a third party.
