They are all bought off by corporations and are allowed to get away with blaming others in the opposing party for their failure to deliver responsible legislation. If anyone of us couldn't get our work done at our place of employment because we didn't get along with 50 percent of our coworkers we would be fired. So should
they. </SPAN></div>

If a private corporation wants to express their approval or give an endorsement of a candidate or issue, let them produce their own advertising saying so. They should not be allowed to stuff the pockets of elected officials and candidates for public office with limitless amounts of cash. This might as well be bribery in my opinion. </SPAN></div>

Since 2000 I have been voting Green and really appreciate that for the first time my vote actually counts for something instead of being pissed away in a red
state electoral collage. The Green party is close to the 15% required to automatically be on the ballot in all the states so I want to give them my vote for that reason. But Rocky Anderson is great! He is exactly what the country needs, so I want to vote for him.

party. In my opinion, breaking the two-party stranglehold on the political system is one of the best things we could do for this country. It would do wonders to break the <SPAN id=misspell-2 class=mark>polarisation</SPAN> of our citizenship that is causing a lot of harm, it would mean that certain issues that both parties currently in power agree upon would have to be re-evaluated if third parties were stronger in elections (to avoid losing votes to those third-party candidates), and it would force a multidimensional look at political topics instead of trying to shoe-horn everything into one axis, liberal or conservative.<BR>> <BR>> Paul<BR>> <BR>> =======================================================<BR>> List services made available by First Step Internet,<BR>> serving the communities of the <SPAN id=misspell-3 class=mark>Palouse</SPAN> since 1994.<BR>>
