The Republicans have the Liberterians, the Democrats have the Greens.

Third parties this country usually subvert their own general interests.

Something to think about for those who would like to see a "really conservative" Conservative third party.

That's how Bill Clinton won another 4 years.

HAS OUR TIME COME?

To come out of the closet and admit they're liberals? Yes. I think so.

just where did you get this pearl of wisdom you so freely dispense? You seem to be locked into the enshrined two party mentality that infects so many. Your breed wants status quo no matter if both parties have identical aims that are no good for the country. The only reason a viable third party has yet to rise up is both parties have a lock on the electoral mechanisms. And btw the 'throwing away your vote' on a third rings hollow if one gets the 5% needed to be part of the debates.
