The state rarely allows an Independent candidate, but no other parties are recognized by the state.Anna Vincentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759913671101666257.post-5391700037861207802013-04-28T13:48:38.053-05:002013-04-28T13:48:38.053-05:00From the libertarian peanut gallery in Mississippi...From the libertarian peanut gallery in Mississippi, I have to say: wow, I really like this one. Half the conservatives I know are the more moderate/libertarian types, and while I am a Christian with right-wing opinions, I do not necessarily desire the Federal Government impose them on the rest of nation! So we're in the same boat here! <br />If my fellow conservatives and I give the Federal Government power to impose our right-wing views on America, we have unwittingly torn down that same wall that stopped the Federal Government from imposing left-wing views on us. (Note that this is basically what the Republican leadership did under President Bush II.) I do not want either view imposed on me by the Federal Government - I just want just the right to determine my own views, practice and express them peaceably, and be left alone (i.e. First Amendment).<br />Both parties claim to be the champions of freedom, and I say they're both wrong; they both want to control some significant portion of my life. When the government's boot is on your throat, whether it is a left boot or a right boot is of no consequence - I just want the boot off of my throat! I was displeased with both major candidates last fall; all that was really guaranteed by the two is status quo maintainence, if not making matters worse in this nation. Next time, let's do something else; let us stop electing parties, and start electing people once more.Garrett Forneanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759913671101666257.post-27928945342258506572013-04-28T13:21:32.402-05:002013-04-28T13:21:32.402-05:00We essentially have a ruling class duopoly, proppe...We essentially have a ruling class duopoly, propped up by both major parties. They have conducted a successful scam in promoting the illusion of choice. I think gradually more and more people are catching on, and might actually start thinking about things, vs voting party loyalty cause the "other guy is worse". The lesser of two evils is still, by definition, evil. Money buys everything in the two parties today. The media barely cover any 3rd party candidates, and then said candidates can't even get on stage with the establishment candidates cause they don't "poll" well enough. It's all corrupt.Don Bakernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759913671101666257.post-63248588633972626772013-04-28T08:23:47.120-05:002013-04-28T08:23:47.120-05:00Note: The American Heathen is R.J.

Our Democratic Republic was not founded on a two party system. As a result of unspoken alliances between the two dominant parties, third party candidates are dismissed, thrust aside and prevented from participating in mainstream debates and political activities. It's high time the people of this country realize that we have been summarily ignored. The will of the people is no longer being represented. It's time for a revolution! Not with guns and violence, but with our voices and our votes! Corporate tyranny must end! NOW!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
