America has more than two choices!

Numerous other parties compete seemingly unnoticed. In 2008, the following parties will present presidential candidates:

Democratic Party
Republican Party
Libertarian Party (http://www.lp.org/)
Constitution Party (http://www.constitutionparty.com/)
Green Party (http://www.gp.org/)

Other parties that failed to gain enough support to offer a competitive presidential candidate include:

Independence Party (http://www.independencepartyofamerica.com/)
Moderate Party (www.modparty.net/)
Party for Socialism and Liberation (pslweb.org/)
Centrist Party (www.uscentrist.org/)
America First Party (www.americafirstparty.org/)
Modern Whig Party (www.whigs.us/)

And my favorite, the Marijuana Party (www.pot-party.com/marijuan.htm).

All kidding aside, why is this country dominated by two parties? I suspect that there are more than two perspectives in American politics and American society. While some parties may lack the organization or credentials to vie, the national press has nonetheless impotently neglected the messages of alternative parties.

It is time to begin an honest, open discussion in America. It is time for Americans to talk candidly. It is time for Americans to become desensitized, and for Americans to stop taking offense to harmless discussion. It is time for Americans to stop sacrificing realty for political correctness. It is time for America to grow up and act like a mature part of the world community. This requires coverage of all perspectives and all parties.

Politics As We See It

So the press is not quite "honest" with its coverage of politics. Do you hear much about the green party? No!!! We don't think that's fair. So here we go - we are starting this blog to show all viewpoints, good and bad.
