The two party system in USA is really not that strictly defined. Just look at what the Tea Party has done. They have created an organized grass root movement that has influenced American politics greatly the past year. Of course, they seem to want to run the country into the toilet, but they have organized to get their own marginal views more weight.

There is nothing keeping any of you from doing the same. Find a group that supports your view, organize and coordinate your efforts and if there are enough like minded people you will have a voice in congress. If instead you feel your views are better represented by not giving a shit, then at least have the self insight to not blame the political system for your own ineptness.

In bold above...why? Im just curious what they have stood for that leads you to believe their goal is for the country to go down the toilet.
