[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1014387, member: 52972"] Hugh, The D or the R is only the issue because it's not that simple. We voters have let these two extreme political parties control our political system. If you are not a 100% true Liberal or a true Conservative, you have little chance of waging a campaign without the financial backing of one of those political parties. 51% of the voters do not agree with the extreme political views of either party, but we don't have a choice. Liberals only make up 21% of the voters, and Conservatives only 28%. If a Republican wins, 72% of the eligible voters probably would not have picked him as their choice. If the Liberal candidate wins, then 79% of the voters probably did not want him to win either. 51% of the voters probably do not like either candidate but were required to choose between the lesser of two evils. It's not a matter of if the candidate is politically Liberal or Conservative. But if the political party is holding the purse strings, that candidate is obligated to push those extreme Liberal or Conservative ideals even if he does not support all of those views. If you ban the financial support of candidate and all donations went into a fund divided equally between the candidates, then the Candidate stands on his own views and is not a paid puppet of either political party. That's why there is so much grid lock in Washington...The Congress and the Senate are polarized and paralyzed by the two political parties. ....Rich [/QUOTE]
