Part of channel(s): Yoursay (promoted)Two roads diverged in a yellow wood... and I, being a Libertarian, chose to forge my own path through the trees and continue in the direction upon which I started... and that has made all the difference.
Does your party define your values or do your values define your political party?
With both parties steadily moving closer to their ideological extremes and further away from the center. there are a vast number of Americans who feel that neither party represents their core political values anymore... especially if those values happened to be centered around the U.S. Constitution and personal liberty.
Will you keep voting for "the lesser of two evils"... or will you support the inception of a viable third party into our stagnant and divided political system?
Interested in all opinions.

Cheers buddy,
I had to watch this twice due to all the big words. You right though as diverse as the USA is a two party system is not working. This year im going to vote independently for the individuals i think can get the most done. I surly would back new party or parties in the future. Im going to look into Gary Johnson. Thanks Event Horizon VOTED

Well said, EH.
I will not compromise my integrity by voting for someone who I don't believe will be a good POTUS. And neither Romney or Obama, in my opinion, should be POTUS. Fuck the "vote for the lesser of two evils".
Looking at Gary Johnson...

It seems that MB-UK has all the answers to our problems. I am looking forward to his YourSay rebuttal.
Great rant, 2012. Always honest and always from the soul.

Like most libertarians I've encountered, you seem like a progressive realist. Down to earth, yet open minded. It's the only party I've ever felt like I belonged to. Cheers.

Every election I say it's time for a third party and I'm wrong. When the GOP christened RINO John McCain, the most Liberal 'hands across the aisles' conservative in history, I was convinced for the need of a third party.There is a need for laws against career politicians,just as there are laws against prostitution. Although an argument could be made which one is more honorable. At least with prostitutes,they tell you want they are going to do and how much it's going to cost. Not so much More..

If you love this society, this country and your way of life.. Then you will vote for Romney to guarantee a defeat of Barack Obama..
You can still be libertarian...
Obama must be defeated immediately. The wave of that alone will sweep the state, county and local elections where you "Liberarians" and "conservatives" and whatever else can change the direction...
In order to stop a dog dead in its tracks, it must be beheaded... You don't stop it by cutting off one of its legs. More..

They have multi-party systems in Europe. The Europeans behave perpetually betrayed because their multiple parties are required to form compromise coalitions. Then they encounter Americans and pretend they are happy with it.
Third Parties have never had a positive impact in American politics. They have only ever functioned as spoilers. If a third party ever achieves permanent stature in the United States, it will happen only in the aftermath of one of the other two parties collapsing.
As for th More..

@john1054 Its funny to hear someone effectively advocate a two party system...as that certainly isn't what your Founders had in mind

"As for the Libertarians, they need to resolve their multiple personality issues before they will ever go anywhere."
Classic comment right there.
It was just a few months ago all the so-called libertarians were screaming Ron Paul and all those rabid catch phrases they learned. Ron Paul failed again to catch the American fortune, so where did all these Former Ron Paul Bots go? That's Right! Over to the Obama camp. Sure, it's a bit subtle.Here's how they do it:

Just a quick anecdote about our last Federal election.
We always had a two party system like you guys but a 3rd kept making small gains over the decades.
We as Canadians were so sick and tired of the constant lies,corruption and thievery from our Liberal party we had them castrated.
The 3rd party stole all their votes as well as our Conservative party and absolutely crushed and dismantled the Liberal/Democrat party here.
Our right wingers earned a resounding majority.

The Founding Fathers decried all forms of combination and party just before they formed combinations and parties.

No thanks. The Perot Lesson of the '90s showed that a third-party results in a Democratic win.

Very true. At the same time, I think the GOP could take some script from the Libertarians and get back to their foundational roots. They need to lose the far right religious whackos who bring them down. It would be easy, just implement a free will system on morality.You cannot legislate religious dogma in a country as large as ours.No friggen way.They alienate too many people. Allowing Gays to marry as an example, had this been an issue during the Lincoln Admin, he would have gone wi More..

I didnt watch your yoursay because the audio is too low. But I agree that the political parties need a third party if anything no parties. I try to listen to the issues and opinions and decide who I like from there...
