Get rid of ALL political parties

    The Party System is a big part of the problem with government. Nothing more than political "gangs", actually. They all want to fit in with their "gang", and the members worry more about thinking alike, and voting alike, than they do actually coming up with some new ideas - ideas that would actually WORK. (For a change). I think we should vote for INDIVIDUALS, what they stand for, and what they propose to do when in office, instead of voting for these ridiculous Republican & Democratic "cliques".

    Demo'rats and Republi'cants both have their hands in the pockets of big business.... Start with the White House and work your way down. From President Obama to your local Senator... labels labels labels... they are all a bunch of currupt scumbags

    Agrees: slave

    Getting rid of all political parties is the wrong way to make lives for the majority of the people better. Politics and Democracy is the biggest weapon OWS has to reduce Inequality. The current problem is that Democrats and Republicans are controlled by big money donors. OWS has to get their own representatives elected. Either through the Democratic Party or through a party of their own. Money might be able to buy votes, but a movement like OWS can neutralize the money, because it can generate the votes for their candidates through its mass grassroots movement.

    They are all controlled by big money donors and as an example... President Obama did 74 fundraisers in 2011... 74 ! ! ! !... That's almost 1 every 3 DAYS! C'mon man!
    He raised a whopping $68,000,000 in the last quarter of 2011! ! !... shouldn't he be trying to run the country instead of campaigning?!?!?! The problem is he, as well as the other scumbag politicians in the House, Congress, Senate, etc are doing the same thing. No wonder the USA is headed in the toilet, and they will be asking for another 1.2 TRILLION debt ceiling raise soon.... garbage garbage and more garbage.... all of them
