Do you mean "apart from" or "a part of"?\n\n"Apart from" would be independent.\n"A part of" would be bi-partisan.

because it simplifies the process.  We rarely get to know the two candidates ( actually there are more party affiliations) so we vote more on the group they represent.  It would be wise for us to pay more attention to the other options available: Libertarian, Independent, etc.  However, many of them do not even present a united standard.

Neither, I'm an independent who votes for the man or woman running for office, regardless of party affiliation. I've found this takes a little more time and research divining the candidates real political stance, but usually it's time well worth it, because you really know who you're voting for, not just the party some candidates seem to hide behind.

Democrat = Left leaning\nCommunist = Left leaning\nSocialist = Left leaning\n\nIt becomes clear that while all three would like to sky rocket taxation, they themselves would like to remain exempt.  Detestable

There are liberals and conservatives with diverse opinions.  The problems in our political system are primarily because we define each other as either liberals or conservatives, democrats or republicans.  Even the third party candidates are really just renamed persons of the same two political parties.  The question is how do we escape from this trap and find a genuine dialog with each other?

There's no need to "establish" a 3rd Political Party to do these things...There's already one:\n\nTHE CONSTITUTION PARTY\n\nhttp://www.constitutionparty.org/

Mainly nowadays political party is more accompanied to the political theory one believes in.  Democrats usually relate to liberalism - socialistic, focus on individualism, and freedom to do what you want so long as you don't hold back anyone from doing what they want.  Republicans usuually relate to conservatism - capitalistic, focus on conformitiy, and a strong national government.  Of course they can be switched up, but often not.  The main reason nowadays for political parties is to simply seperate yourself from the other side in order to present a solid political platform.

Work in the Republican primary campaign for his top challenger, and if he is nominated work for the Democrat in the general election campaign!

The republocrats. They make you believe there are two parties, when really it's all just the same policies coming either "raw" or "decaf".\n\nCheck out this video and listen well to the statements:\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FP6icCUfs8

Here are some brief definitions that may help you, although wikipedia is a great source for information:\n\nCabinet: The President's various secrataries. Examples: Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Health and Human Services. There are 15 people that fill these offices.\n\nSenate: One of the two houses of the Congress. It has 100 members, two from each state, with 6 year terms.\n\nLiberal: Generally used to describe Democrats, or those who subsribe to "liberal" views, such as right to choose, abolish death penalty, many others (this definition is highly simplified but will do for now).\n\nRepublican: Those who are members of the Republican party, also called Conservatives (though many who are conservative are not members of the party). They generally believe in the right to life, higher defense spending, and lower social welfar spening (coupled with lower taxes). \n \nParty: Any formal organization of people who choose a representative to run for office. There have been many parties throught the US's history, but there have only been 2 main parties at any given time.\n\nFor the rest, just look up specific terms. You might want to look up those ones, too, since my answers are very much simplified.\nAlso, try taking a very basic Government or American History course for a contextual framework.

No\nThere currently aren't any.\nhttp://clerk.house.gov/members/congProfile.html\n\nThis is a weird paradox because there are two independents... (Maybe 3 now, props to Lieberman) and the Libertarian party is larger than the Independent as far as votes cast overall.  \n\nLibertarians have political ideals that can not be compared with any single party.  Libertarians are economically conservative and socially liberal.  They are not "like" other parties in more ways than they agree on certain issues. \n\nIndependents theoretically do not have a defined platform.  The ideals of the independents are defined by the majority vote(s) of the people in that area.\n\nI think it will be difficult for any of the smaller ideas until people get the idea of "wasting your vote" idea.\n\nIf you vote for someone you didn't want over someone you did... then you are wasting your vote.  Not the other way around.
