TEABAG!!!

I really hope that The Teabaggers (or "Teabag Movement", or whatever they finally decide on for a name) become a full-fledged Political Party soon, along the same lines as The Libertarians, The Green Party and all of the other etceteras out there. It would REALLY help The Republican party weed out all of the more extreme members and bring some amount of focus to both factions instead of having them constantly at odds. And it would be nice to see the actual message of each party without it being muddied by the agenda of the others.

I'm still a bleeding-heart Liberal Democrat who believes in big government and even bigger government spending, but I'm excxited to see as many different opinions as possible so I can tear them apart and look down upon those who think differently than I do :)

I should have added that we need to abolish the two party system. But then again, abolishing the Electoral College system will take care of multiple issues as well. People would be more likely to vote if they thought that their vote actually counted.

Something has GOT to change somewhere. Legally requiring people to vote is not the most optimal way to achieve change. But the mere attempt to do so would get (most) people to actually THINK about the process.

One other thing....the Constitution does say that we have the right to keep and bear arms. It DOESN'T say that we have the right to bullets. I'm sure that some bright bulb in Congress or Senate has thought of that one. It would be easier to keep an eye on both houses if more people voted.
