What we really need is a Second Party.
The RATs and Lite RATs aren’t going to cut it.
That is so exactly true. If you want to vote for a government that has a major determining role in your kid's education, your health care, your wages, your morality (if you run a bakery and refuse to bake a wedding cake for a homosexual couple, you are being "immoral" in the eyes of the government, or if you refuse to allow Youth Pride on your teen kids' campus, you are punished by the government for being immoral) -- if you want to vote for a president who thinks that is fine, vote Democrat or Republican.
If you want to vote for a president whose entire philosophy is, "Government is too big. We need to cut back. We don't need the federal government in what is a most local of things, education. We don't need the federal government micro-managing relationships between free people and their doctors, insurance companies, employers, etc. The entire concept of nationalized health care is wrong" -- who do you vote for to say that?
THAT would be the 2nd Party.
