This is what I have been saying for years. Unless we have a viable third party in this country - we will never get anything done. It doesn't matter if the Republican or the Democrats are in charge. The only thing that can break the cycle is a strong third party. The network news needs to be required to give equal air time to all 3 parties. We need to do away with the fact that you have to have millions of dollars to win a campaign. We either need very short term limits or do away with the need for campaigning as that takes priority over every thing else. And again, nothing gets done. As soon as someone takes office, they start working about the next election. Why does Congress get a recess? Could it be because they act like elementary school kids (no offense meant towards elementary school kids). Why don't they have to work 50-60 hrs. a week for 50 weeks a year like the average American. And don't get me started on their health care plans and their pension funds! I want a list of everyone that "opted out" of the federal health care plan. Or better yet - you can't "opt out". You have to be STUCK with what ever crappy system you come up with - just like the rest of us. And I would like Congress to remember that they are supposed to be our servants - not the other way around. More later; I am too disgusted to anything else at this time. God Bless Dr. Ron Paul and God Bless America!
