Perhaps there are many other things which make people lethargic and fosters a Don't Care attitude. In my opinion it is the natural result of being told over and over again how oppressive all of society is to people and how helpless and powerless people are as individuals to effect any changes in their lives. The more whiney the cop-outs and excuses which liberals use the more people just throw their hands up and give up, declaring 'Why bother? It's all society's fault that I'm poor and uneducated. Everyone is against me!' In that regard, the Libertarian and Democratic Party's own message works against them.

Well, I also hate it when people blame everything but themselves, or believe that everyone else owes them. But if you're saying people like me encourage handouts, you're off the mark. I do think that the Libertarian Party engages in blaming the Republicans, or the legal system. Perot would also don a tin foil hat on occasion for that matter.
This is probably the best post in the whole thread:
I certainly don't see the voters flocking to third parties. In fact, looks like they are fleeing third parties in droves. Thanks to Ross Perot, Patrick J. Buchanan and Harry Browne.
This is quite true, however you're not going to assuage any disgruntled Republicans over by calling them crooks and idiots and traitors.
