What Party To Support?

If you see the 2 party system as a lump of crap, then this is an interesting question. Where do you put your support in the upcoming elections? That is a question that you must answer for yourself. Me? I am looking at the Green Party. Why? Their statement of principles is closer to my own beliefs than any other party. There is also SPUSA, but they are just looking for attention that they will never receive.

For me, it appears that the winner and the nominee of the Dem party will be someone I cannot support. Why? The two leaders, as of now, are just business as usual. They want to reform Nafta, Health care, yada, yada. I have a prob with reform. Why? It is a temporary fix, easily changed, and will not be any help. Reforms are about as worthless as the lip service it receives from the candidates. If there is not change, then NOTHING will change.

Okay, how about the GOP candidates? (the sound of gut wrenching laughter can be heard in the background).

As Axl Rose sang in patience, "where do we go, where do we go from here?" It is a scary prospect--the choices that the voters are given, that is.
