Re: We need a new system
There have been a few political parties that have come and gone
in the 200+ years this country has been around.
All thought that there needed to be change, and that
they had the one true way. My personal
feeling is that there isn't much difference between the two current
big dogs, and neither is worth a pinch of monkey $h!t.
I'm leaning toward Tea Party, with a good dose of Libertarian. If
you want something different find some like minded people and
have at it.
