Actually the dual party system has proven in the real world to be much better then polyparty systems. See Italy as an example. What happens is that nothing ever gets done because the more parties there are the harder it is to get legislation passed with a majority.
What might work is a 4 party system. If you think of the views on politics they basically fall into 2 catagories - those which affect personal laws (think 1st/2nd amendment, abortion etc) and those which effect the country as a whole (federal budget, foriegn policy etc.).
So, since ther are 4 parties, you would get basically every different combination of liberal/conservative views on the 2 different catagories.
Of course the fact that the Dems and Repubs seemed to have basically choosen their stances on the issues at random, who knows.

Me thinks this is another mad lib who can't get over the fact Kerry lost, and that he(she) has to endure another 4 years of just and righteous politics unlike the shaddy deals done by the opposition. We are entering a Republican era of politics, simple as that. Why? Because that is who the people want, if they wanted Green or Indi, they'd have voted for that party's candidate.

Would you want a poor person as president? Obviously if they are poor, they can't be too great a candidate for the highest position in the US. Being poor conveys a sense of lack of leadership and ineptitude, on the other hand being rich conveys a sense of leadership and competence.

hey...leave the gun thing alone. in proper hands guns are FINE! that is such a minor issue! the fact is that bush won. well,i didn't vote for him,but yet he is the president...i didn't think kerry was any better really. why all the arguing over a dead issue? and as i've been reading this thread(not to be mean) most of the arguing is from someone who doesn't even seem to have basic english(america's language)down.
