For the last 5 presidential elections there have been a multitude of 3rd parties running candidates at every level. Tell me, how long does it take to get the message that 3rd parties are a non-starter except as spoilers?You neglect to mention that after all 5 of the last presidential elections the size of government and the national debt has continued to rise no matter which party was elected.
How long does it take to get the message that you're not going to get smaller government voting for either of the two major parties?

How long does it take to get the message that you're not going to get smaller government voting for either of the two major parties? Because that is what the voters want. Remember, every politician has to get elected and to stay elected he or she do what their voters want. Government is big because people want big government. If we are to have small government, whatever that means, then those that vote has to want it too.

You neglect to mention that after all 5 of the last presidential elections the size of government and the national debt has continued to rise no matter which party was elected. I believe that the percentage of national debt relative to GNP feel last year -- 2001.
