Quote by: Osborn F Enready And the fact remains that the Libertarian party is the biggest, most widely known (though misunderstood) party out there. If the Lib party could just get national recognition in the media, and the elections were MANDATORY open debates, with unscripted questions, we would see change immediately. |
That's a damned big IF, my friend. Nothing remotely like that will happen until the sheep realize the government, and therefore the election process is controlled by two parties that don't want to share the power. Once they realize the ridiculously obvious truth that those who HAVE, want to KEEP what they have then perhaps they might support a little diversity in the government. Until then, ANY alternate party is spinning their wheels.
For that, at least, you have to give credit to the L.P. for stamina (zero marketing skill, but stamina). Look at Perot, he lost one election and walked away from the whole thing when he had a real possibility of making a stronger showing in the following 2 elections.
