Uh, Joe...if there are that many people who've "hadenuf" of the GOP and the Democrats...then how come the GOP or the Democrats are the ones who win the elections?
Why do you even care if The Free State Project happens?
What threat are they to you?
Why do you keep bringing up water problems in Idaho?
You know the FSP hasn't chosen a state yet.
You know the FSP hasn't got enough people yet ( but it will and LOTS more)
So what's the problem?

Poohbah! Gawd I love that cute little name.
Listen Poo, these two parties are in power now, and have been for many years. As things change, and they will, another party will surface, and it won't have any resemblance to the two party system that currently dominates and has a strangle hold on our nations capital. Nothing last forever, not even the Democratic or Republican party.
Look, if you think the majority of tax paying citizens are quiet content with the direction of this country, than you are blind.
The differences between the two parties in DC are really inconsequential, and they prove this almost weekly. Government gets bigger, taxes are never reduced, they only go up and the government has involved itself in *every* single aspect of our lives and business. I could easily go on.
I come into contact with lots of people daily, that feel the very same way. Eventually, a strong American leader, a new party, will come to power, one that puts America, it's people and businesses first, 100 percent of the time. A leader that is not so damn politically correct that he stands in stone silence as our borders are completely over run as our national sovereignty dissolves. A party that will not stand by and watch our manufacturing and business flee to other countries, while our own people's standard of living, declines...
Otherwise, this country is heading for a very restricted, regulated and oppressive system. A place where our constitution will be considered an old relic, something of the past. The choice is clear.
Now, Pooh, don't go and spoil their fantasy. In the meantime we won't be holding our breaths waiting to see them get setup with dialup access from Boondocks, Idaho.
Imagine how ludicrous it is that grown adults would seriously contemplate moving to some far-away place just for the express purpose of inflicting their cruel toleration upon their neighbors. "Wilbur down the road married his horse, while Jake and Beauregard cook meth next door. Hehehe. Them rascals! Of course, me and Mildred are not into such things, but we thought it so important that other people be allowed to do what we personally find abhorrent that we moved here to show them our support."
Your right! But there are millions of American's that have "hadenuf" of the current state of affairs and the two party cartel in DC.To: Joe Hadenuf
The major parties win elections because the electorate has swallowed the propaganda that we have a "two-party" system of government.
Because of the belief that we are a two-party nation, and because of the further belief that there's no difference between the two parties, a large segment of our people don't vote at all, under the assumption that their vote doesn't matter. Another large segment votes for the 'lessor of two evils" in the hope that they can at least slow the erosion of our freedom.
Remember the "Contract with America, Poohbah? Those lawmakers were elected because they convinced voters that they wouldn't act like normal Republicans, but instead would restore the nation to conservative values.
The lies worked; people who usually wouldn't bother to vote went to the polls to elect "real" conservatives, and the Republican Party took over both houses of Congress.
Funny, when the voters found out that their new conservative Republicans were no more conservative than the old Republicans, seats were lost in both the House and the Senate.
Right now, citizens have swallowed the "can't win" mythology put upon the libertarian candidates by both major parties, just as voters fell for the lie that Alan Keyes could never win, even though everyone agreed that Keyes was the best fit as the "idea" conservative Republican candidate.
The Republican leadership wanted the liberal Bush as it's candidate, even though that leadership claims to promote "conservative" values.
The conservative base of the Party was betrayed again, just as it was when the Contract with America was abandoned.
