No absolute right or wrong.

Maybe it's gonna be impossible to overcome partisan politics in Washington. There's just too much of a divide. That's the nature of the beast. Politicians aren't happy unless there's rancor. Politics is a game. And the motivation is to tear down one's opponent. Good guys. Bad guys. Black and white. And oh, so much pressure to follow the partyline. We've got it mastered in America. Pretty much a two-party system. It's one or the other. Both Democrats and Republicans resist allowing a 3rd or 4th party to enter the fray. That would confuse the situation. Imagine that. Five or six or seven sides to a political debate. But that's the point. One should look at issues from many, many angles. Not just from two angles. Often, there is no absolute right or absolute wrong. --Jim Broede

Jim---Through out history 3rd party candidates have acted as sounding boards and instigated many of the changes made in this country. I don't know of any 3rd party candidates ever being elected...but...There have been times when I've voted for one because they more closely adhered to my views that either the Republican or Democratic candidates.
