Surely you can choose between two very different plans for our future. Big Federal Government Spending on stimuli, and social programs VS Smaller Federal government and more emphasis on State government. 

This is the weird part to an outsider. Both of those look like giving government more power and less personal liberty. State government isn't somehow better, it's just more excuse for the left-leaning states to impose economic controls and the right-leaning ones to impose social controls.

There is no option that will involve actual cuts to government programs other than welfare.

Found fathers believed in state government. The big difference is less oversight and power to the Federal government. But yes, obviously, they are both government.

Plenty of options to cut government programs.

You are an idealist. Mark my words. "A third party candidate will never win the Presidency." Just because some people are registered Independent does not mean they don't lean one way or another. It just means they choose not to be labled.  

Why not? It has happened before, why not now. We haven't always had the two parties we have now. Change has happened when a big party started to split, or loose the views of the people. I plan on voting third party just not sure who yet.


We haven't had a third party win since Washington - 215 years. I think it's pretty obvious we won't have another.
