My politics....

Yeah definitely, I agree with you there, and of course the two party system makes it very difficult if you have views that straddle the party. For instance, we agree on gay rights but disagree on national defense, and there are probably people on this board who disagree with respective stances on national defense but disagree with us on gay rights...

And in the end all the fence-straddlers seem to cancel out and decide that if they want to have any effect they need to align themselves with the side that promotes the causes that are most important to them, and we're back to the two-party system.
i think the 2 party system would work fine if they would learn to play nice with each...each side has valid arguements.
