We don't have only 2 candidates - however Americans have been tricked into believing that only 2 count... Jill Stein is an MD, very outspoken and... arrested at the site of the second debate (American democratic processes in action!

The Green Party and The Libertarian Party have been excluded, by the 2 party dictatorship. It's an open display of voter censorship, and the debate commission is being sued by Gary Johnson and the Libertarians. 100% of the candidates should be heard by 100% of the people, if we are really in a Democracy. |

what Americans do not fully realize is that THEY ARE BEING CHEATED when they allow corporations (media) to close them (mentally) in one of two camps, Rep. or Dem. Whether Obama or Romney wins Americans will lose! They are NOT ALLOWED to know all candidates for THEIR president. but sadly, they hardly care. I mean those who watch "news" tv which also belongs to corporations and spread propaganda (i guess you do not really watch it. Neither do I.) Opposition to two ((one?) party system is huge--but it seems not to be consolidated. i think Americans still believe their election is a democratic process and various 3rd parties have a chance. That site http://www.write-inrevolution.com/ has instructions how to make sure your vote count when you do not vote for someone other than the guys funded mostly by banks. |

Posted by Astra2012 Who can guarantee that a third party would not be subjected to the same billionaires/ corporate interests as the republicans and democrats. Unless the way campaigns are run and elections are held.....the system will remain as it is. My opinion.....is the democrats stand for the same policies and platform that I mainly agree with and I will do my part the best I can to make the party better in working thru the reps that we voted into office. Passing along information from valid sources to other people and avoiding the pundits on TV with their personal opinionated commentary. . The elected in DC need to know we are watching every move they make. |

Posted by JANMB there are no guarranties of course - but lobbysts stay away from Ron Paul and Jill Stein also looks pretty tough for me! I am sure they both would be presidents for American people and NOT for the party - at last! you put all the democrats to the same group-but they are not all the same. Like Republicans (who have their party taken over by all these neocons ..). do you think that traitor Nancy Pelosi is anything like Dennis Kucinich? Both Democrats. btw I found great site about voting of our representatives: agree that we really need to keep them accountable! http://www.jbs.org/news/hold-your-congressmen-accountable-for-their-votes |

What is so wrong with a 3rd party, 4th party, 5th party... something different than the same song and dance every 4 years. Fresh thinking. A new outlook. Let the people hear from all the parties, and make a choice. It's like we are forced to eat Chocolate or Vanilla ice cream. I'm ready for banana or strawberry. |

She is a very intelligent and outspoken woman ("Romney is a wolf in wolf's skin, Obama is a wolf in sheep's skin"). RT talks with her about American election system which is very hostile to Americans http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=B3SfivTK8m4 |
