Obama should be forced to address these questions in a televised forum.

the think the way that we do it in newzealand is better than in the US... if a small party gets 5% of the vote they get repersented in parament... its a more concated issue than how ive put it ofcouse but its basically how it works

[psyhobill5150]

green party should be called the red party

I hate to point this out, but Instant Runoff is a distraction:

It filters out spoilers but does not allow third parties and independents to win:

I Ireland only 1 third party or independent ever won the presidency. Australia basically has only 2 parties.. IRV is a distraction preventing true reform.

A better system in range/score-voting:

One scores one's choices between -100 and +100 and add up the votes.

Please check out my video I made for Nader/ Gonzalez.

Nader doesn't steal votes...he earns them.

I posted my video about here as a response.

A vote for Ralph is a vote for McCain/Palin.

The Repubs love ya!

Hippies, all of ya.

the democrats don't want instant runoff voting because with instant runoff more & more people will feel safe voting 3rd party, and soon enough the "democrats" will be voted out of office, as they don't deliver what the electorate wants. the "democrats" don't want a system that functions democratically because they don't care about democracy or representing the public will. all they care about is staying in power.

thats a good set of hair.

how about a list of friendlies, people that think outside the 2 major parties box... we need to overthrow congress with humanitarians rather than keep electing corporate cyborg drones... after november, i'd like to see candidates that people like nader, gonzalez, camejo, sheehan, and other real progressives endorse. the way i see it, as these people go, so i go...
