The two party system is only part of the problem, LH, but not the entire problem...

The way we finance elections is a major problem... The average Senator has to round up $8000 a day in order to have enough money to run a competetive campaign... That means alot of promises and quid pro quo...

Also, the Senate is completely broken and become a death chamber for good legislation... The Founding Fathers wouold be disgusted with the fillibuster... That was not their idea and it is a bad rule that the Senate itself enacted... For what, who knows... This promotes minority rule and constant gridlock... This, BTW, is why the American people arr so pissed off....

No, I'm not saying that the two party system is good... I'd like to see coilition government with about 10 different parties... That would be the best scenerio and force folks to communicate...
