I lament the situation that our two party systems has left our countries politics in. The two party systems has failed American as of late (not that politcal systems that support multiple parties are TONS better).
It's just sad that the politcs of money have driven BOTH sides to such extreme views.
I may be wrong (and I am just speaking for myself) but I truly believe that a candidate that represented the Left's devotion to the environment, labor, trade relations and the Right's devotion to social issues, defense/military (with a dose of restraint), etc. would be elected with a 90% margin or better.
Mix and match your issues, but my point remains the same. The HIGHLY polarized views and (seemingly incompatible) stances of most of our political figures are a result of the powerful lobbies and the extreme amount of money required to mount a successful campaign these days.
If a truly center-oriented party could be organized it would revolutionize our country.
*rant over thanks!
