text: can we ban democrats and republicans from presidential election 2008? i'm sick of both these political parties. it's time they were banned from an election so we can get a real president who cares about the usa. ha!!! you and me both, i remember it say somewhere about "a government for the people and by the people" i think it has become "a government for itself and forget the people" now i do understand you can not please everyone, but, man they seem to be getting more controlling all the time. more and more tax paid agencies to harass people with tax payer resources. there are many other political parties, some can only run in one state stuff like that and then there the independent party of which i do believe that one president was elected. funny how when they have a presidential debate the only parties there are the republican and democrat. i know people not think much of that short guy, i think ross perot something like that. everyone was too busy hooting and hollering he not a good choice they missed an important point. he was not allowed to debate. why? whether he was good for the job or not, it seems to me the presidential debate should be just that and include all those applying for the position. guess i wrong though. :-p
