> This way we don't get the unaccountable second term crap we see a lot of.

Usually the president is working so that his successor will be from his chosen party. Who thinks the next president will be a Democrat? (It doesn't really matter if you think Republican is better or worse - if they are not happy people will switch.)



The problem is our two party system is merely a distraction to keep us fighting with each other while massive changes are being made behind the scenes. Take any issue of importance (foreign policy, national debt, warrentless wire-taping, torture, personal liberty, free speech, etc) and you'll see both parties voting together to undermine our freedom and give themselves more power/money.


The people need a third party to switch to. The current two-party system leads to a serious lack of democracy.
