Partisan Choice

Republican or Democrat?  Moderate or Independent?  I cant even begin to count the times i have been asked or seen someone asked these questions.  What is your answer?  Mine is simply this: None of the above.  Why? just because you have the right to vote doesn't give you someone to vote for in an election, so what are you supposed to do, vote for the best of two bads?  I don't think so.  The problem lies in the big party's, Moderates and Independents are really just Republicans or Democrats that don't agree with everything their original party supports.  The problem is the people behind the scenes, the ones who really run the faces we see on the tv or internet.  I do believe that at one time maybe those people had a vision on how they could help our country, but 99% of people that get a taste of power, just want to keep that power, at whatever cost.  In comes the corruption.  Then because they have the funding to do so, they pick candidates that have or will agree to do whatever the party leaders say they should.  This allows them to stay in power.  This also means that sometimes what they do to remain in power is not what is best for the American people.  So what do we do?  Take the power back, to the people where it belongs.
