But us being people, it will always exist and is our only real solution for running a country. Which is really quite sad. I really don’t like the two-party system either.

As the child get even older (preferably after the Terrible 2s), it's best to add an additional Choice C to the mix. After that, hopefully the child has learned how to make correct choices, no matter how many options they have. So what does that say about the American People today? That we're like toddlers who can only handle choosing between Choice A and Choice B? That we're not even through our cultural "Terrible 2s" yet? Our politicians certainly treat us that way! But then, maybe some of us deserve it...

Yep, its always the lesser of 2 evils and nothing ever seems to get done thanks to the 2 bickering parties in the senate and congress. In sales they say it is better to offer the potential customer 3 options as they feel then they get to choose instead of being forced to pick between 2 unapealing options. Just a thought.

His staff didn't know how he felt about the topic, and the guy said "I don't care how he feels, he works for me, and he's supposed to represent me, so this is how I want him to vote..." There's an idea for you. A representative voting how those he represent want him too... what an ingenius idea. I heard the other day a guy say he called his congressman to ask about an issue.

I want a quality 3rd party that actually forces Washington to do what is best for ALL of us, with our input. Wow, that would be Utopia, so I guess there isn't much chance of that happening. Exactly!
