Aren't you aware their are 2 dominant parties in this country. Ever wonder why the third parties do not get to debate the main two? Ever wonder why the media hardly ever talks about alternatives to the two main parties? And have you ever noticed the unfortunately prevelant idea that a vote for anything other than D or R is a wasted vote? Third party candidates are deliberately silenced by the Democratic and Republican establishment.

Those left encourage voters to elect anyone *except* politicians to replace them. It's interesting to contemplate whether or not electing normal people instead of lawyers and power-mongers would make any difference.

Reject them.

Reject the people like Sean Hannity who...
