I can’t be the only one who noticed that there is more than two political parties..

I keep seeing people commenting on voting for someone because they don’t want the other, or voting for someone just because they are “their party” but that they still don’t like that person.

In case you weren’t aware…there are more than two parties.

AND in case you feel like using this excuse, keep it to yourself please….voting for one of the minor parties does not help the lesser of two evils win an election.  Voting for one of the lesser parties takes balls…and frankly most people just don’t have those when it comes to voting.  So what if you don’t think that the party has a chance to win.  What are you doing?  Voting for how you want your country run or voting so you can be on the “winning side”??  Vote your conscious people, things will turn around faster than you think if everyone does that.

Do you know that some people don’t even know what they are voting for!  I see a lot of political comments, hear people defending their political choices, and I just wonder…did these people learn politics from the Clintons?  Nothing makes sense.  It’s just blah, blah, blah…it means nothing and goes nowhere.  Hell, I hear people talking about how the candidates promise to do things that they won’t have the authority to change nor are they likely to even influence those who can change it.  I find it disturbing that people think the president is like the boss of a family business…the ultimate authority on everything.

My opinion is that the country is a big freaking mess because people don’t do their part.  People don’t take responsibility for their actions.  They don’t even take action.  They usually prefer to sit around and complain about it.   IF you asked your neighbor, who might be complaining about one issue or another, what they have done to change it…chances are they’d stare at you like you were an idiot, OR they’d start ranting about how it can’t be changed because government can’t be fought, it’s too big, etc. etc.  People have no idea that there are ways to participate in our government!  Hell, there are ways to keep an eye on what is going on and voice your opinion right from your home computer! You can influence government in your jammies!!  If you think you can’t, then you are part of the problem.

Anyway, I seem to have gotten off the point.  The point of this post was to point out that there are multiple parties.  Stop voting for the ones with the most money, start voting for the ones who reflect the ideals that you want instilled in our country.  This is the only way to have our government reflect the wishes of our people.  Voting for the Republicans or Democrats (if you aren’t really committed to their cause) is like voting on which schoolyard bully you’d prefer to have beating up on you.  The most obvious solution to the problem is to vote for someone else that really works for you.

Make our founding fathers proud and vote for what you stand for!
