At least you have different political parties in America.

In Australia and the UK, it's basically the social democrats or the social democrats and if they don't take your fancy you can vote for the other social democrats.

for awhile that is how it was with repubs and dems. bush caused the repubs to get somewhat back to their roots of small government. More importanlty i think the tea party has had an overall positive effect on the repubs too. My hope though is that the tea party becomes its own party, and that the republicans stop being a party altoghter. than we can have a small government party and the dems. i know who i would vote for

I am with you on that front.

It always struck me that when the tea party struck they focused on the 1% of racist and extremist in the media.

But when occupy wall street occured, despite having an absurd number of condlicting ideologies between those attending they received very little criticizm.

What I want out of a political party is both social and economic freedom.
