Organizations are an easy way to control the sheeple.

This is due to simple arithmetic:

instead of having to control every member of an organization directly,

one only has to control a few leaders at the top of the organization - in order to control the voice of the whole organization. This effectively silences every rank-and-file members, who simple become the organization’s sheeple. Their only recourse is to quit the organization, but typically they are presented with alterior benefits to staying in.

Political parties, being organizations, enable easy wholesale control of “the masses”.

If a populace won’t stand for 1-party control, one only has to create a multi-party system in order to provide the illusion of “political competition”.

Ergo, most of the sheeple can be deluded into thinking they are being “mostly” “represented” by one of the political “teams”.

The “teams” simply must always have differing views on every political issue. Then the sheeple see “multiple sides” to every issue, and find that they “win some, they lose some”. In this way, most never “feel” completely unrepresented.

Adding parties or eliminating them altogether would be a start towards somewhat watering down the effectiveness of the financial oligarchy’s political control - unless or until they came up with alternate control strategies.

We don’t need no stinking third party.

The secret to restoring the integrity of the federal government is the following. Regardless of the global popularity of Downton Abbey, “DC Follies” is actually the most popular soap opera in the world. And the trick to restoring the constitutional republic is to find another soap opera that can hold people’s attention to their TVs between highly profitable commercials as well as DC Follies can.

We need a third, fourth and fifth party, Lainie, a dynamic political environment where political parties and ideers come and go, instead of this two party system, where both parties are for nothing, no principles except goodness, goodness without quotation marks!

We have them. They failed in the past, fail now, and fail in the future.

We need a 3rd party or a 2nd country. I’m thinking the latter is what it will take.

“THE PERFECT QUOTE

Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way that you can quickly understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic . Someone over there has it figured out. It was translated into English from an article in the Prague newspaper, Prager Zeitungon. “

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their President.”

“I dare say we already have a third party.
"We have the liberal party, the GOP machine, and then we’ve got the Good Guys.”

"Like, Senator's (Ted)Cruz, (Mike) Lee & Rand Paul" she went on to say...

A third party guarantees Democrats will control forever.

Forget it!

Don’t want a third party if all it will do is split the vote and throw the election to the Demonrats. It would have to be a party that would appeal mightily to Republicans and Independents because Demos won’t go for it.

We already have 3 parties.

On the far left, we have the Democrats, Marxists, Communists, Socialists and Nazis; statists one and all. There is little chance they will moderate and move right.

On the center left we have the GOPe. It is doubtful they will move left but they could be enticed to move right to the center.

In the center we have conservatives who will not move to center left and will not move to the right. This is actually a sub-party in the GOP and the only chance the GOP has if they want to remain a party.

Oh, and on the far right are anarchists, but by definition, I don’t think you can call them a party.
