Multi-Party United States

April 29, 2005

It’s about time we abandon the two party system here in the United States. Republicans and Democrats are vying to be too much to too many people. It’s no longer a fight between small government and big government. It’s a fight between Republicans who want to use big government to control morality, Republicans who want to little government, Democrats who want government to support any form of social program, and Democrats who want all the government with no form of moral background to support or deny it. Each new issue is co-opted by each party in its own way, while other important issues are left behind.

How about a new multi-party system? Greens, Libertarians, Christian-Right, Liberal-Christian-Left, and Socialists? Ok, so party names suck… but you get the picture.

I think that the only thing between us an a multiparty system would be john mccain/mark warner bid in 2008.

The Virginia governor? He's a Presbyterian... that's about all I can find out from the National Governor's Association.
