The US Needs a New Political Party

Post by Accountable »

Stolen from a different thread:

[Jives] No, separation is a good thing, it's just not a good idea to have only two choices. We desperately need a thrid party in this country.

Not a fringer party like the Green party, nor a radical party like the Libertarians, but something moderate. Going liberal on some issues, and conservative on others.

Just the way the American people act.:rolleyes:

I've heard this before, and every party has its fringe, but how is the entire Libertarian Party a radical party?



Smaller government

Fiscal Conservation

Lower Taxes

Staunchly pro-freedom



What's not to like?

I agree---there is much to like about the Libertarian Party. They have just never caught hold of the average voter.

That's it? Poor marketing? I suppose you're right. The party has been effectively marginalized.
