I believe we should eliminate them as well. Political parties
generalize people as either Democrat or Republican. It also makes
people have biased opinions on important issues. Someone who might be
registered Republican might have more Democratic and liberal views on
things, but votes Republican on them because that is how they
registered.

I believe that the parties are fine. Sure they profile people, but it
may also give people pride in what they believe in.

Their is no need for a party system any more. Elected Officals shound
think for them selfs and vote on want they think will better America.
the two party system created a 'us vs them' mind set not a 'what will
better the people' mind set.

I think we should get rid of these political parties because it is
causing problems in the Government. If they get rid of these parties
this will cause less problems and people can have there own opinons,
and they won't be forced to vote one way if they feel a different way.

i feel that the country should try this method in which we have no
political parties. i mean people all the time argue about how the
democrats are better than the republicans and how the republicans are
better than the democrats. and most of the time people have no idea
what the difference is or have no idea on what their party has been up
to. also, i feel that if a person is a certin party then on voting day
they go to the ballot and just vote for their party without even
knowing who the people they are voting for and what their plan to do
in office is. i feel that if the country could try this and make it
work it would help, but on the other hand if it did not work just go
back to the way it was and it would be as if nothing ever changed.

No I do not agree that political parties should be abolished because I
don't ever judge someone by their party usually I think at their core
people don't just vote for someone because of their party if they do
they just are people who vote for the heck of it so eliminating the
party system won't do anything I think just like Dylan in that a party
gives you pride in taking a stand for the things you believe

I don't think political parties are needed. Just vote for what you
believe! Political parties make people chose either Democrat or
Republican, it gives people biased opinions on issues. Often people
might have liberal views but just vote as a republican because that
how they are registered, or vice versa; thats not how it should be.
Elected officials should vote based on what they themselves think will
better America. People wouldn't have to feel pressured to vote one way
if they felt another. I understand why others believe that parties are
good and people find pride in what they believe through them, but
there will be a time when they might not be so sure if they are on the
right side for an issue. Why have sides to begin with??!! This way, no
one would care or judge, votes would strictly be based on what you
believe.. and thats how it should be!!

I think we should get rid of political parties once and for all. All
they do is cause trouble. People should vote for who ever they want to
vote for because they feel thats the best choice to make our country
better. The Political parties are just not necessary anymore.

I feel that having the Political Parties is a good thing. It may have
its downfalls but overall they help America. Having to different
parties with different opinions is good because they need to prove to
one another that what they want done should be done.

I think we should get rid of the political parties. Political parties
label people and create discrimination because of the certain views
you uphold. Also, you can't always pick the political party you want
to really be part of. Depending on where you live and where you want a
job you need to register as a certain political party. We should just
get rid of the two parties and be independents.

label a person to be democrat or republican. Everyone should be able
to have their own beliefs and their should be new political parties
that should get recognized more then just the superior two.

I agree and believe that we should eliminate the two party system. I
believe that it is an old way of thinking and anyone should be able to
stand up for anything they believe. By joining a political party, you
may not agree with everything that the party agrees with, but labeling
yourself in either party forces you to believe what the party does.
It's 2011, we should be able to stand up for anything that we believe
and not be stuck in one parties beliefs!

I agree and think that there should not be two party systems. Everyone
should be allowed to vote for what they believe in. Having the two
party systems forces people to join a group, even if they do not agree
with everything the group has to offer. I believe that people should
stand up for what they believe in and not be influenced by a certain
group.

I also agree because it is too hard to get bills passed, because
sometimes reguardless of a persons feelings on an issue they might
side with there party. Th system takes too long to work and I feel
like it should be fixed

I do not think we should completely eliminate the parties so much as
just renew them. Keep the two parties but take the things that are
causing problems out. I think that if we did get rid of the parties
then people would still disagree with each other because they are
still going to have the two party mind set and it would end up being
like the two parties...just without the two parties. The parties might
profile and stereo-type people and cause arguments but that is not
because of the parties themselves, it is because of the people in the
parties and the fact that they are humans: they will always disagree.

United States Pirate Party
Chairman: Brittany Phelps
Founded: June 6, 2006
Platform: This act has resulted in the prosecution, or conviction of
tens of thousands of people in our country--people who are law-abiding
and who are not interested in being labeled thieves or crooks for
doing what the internet was intended to do. This is a First Amendment
issue, being freedom of expression, and we call for a repeal of this
highly illogical and vertically-oriented law on the grounds that it is
simply a bad law.

I think other parties need to become stronger. i dont know what the
implications of eliminating the parties would be, but if the third
parties are able to gain more power, more issues could be addressed
and more voices from many different platforms could be heard.

No because we can not have one system of many different beliefs.
There must be different parties so each group can focus on what they
support, and so they the public can vote on what group they believe in
the must. If there were no groups then there would be a great
confussion on who to vote on.

Third Party: Peace and Freedom Party
Leader: Benjamin Spock
Platform: It is a strong advocate of protecting the
environment from pollution and nuclear waste
I believe that the two party system is good and bad for our
government. They maintain a sort of balance within the government and
find rational solutions for issues that are troubling our nation. On
the other hand, the parties also generate many problems for our
nation. The belief of what is good for few, is good for many is still
believed within our government, but it really isn't. The government
argues over bills that are only good for a select few instead of
focusing on the bigger issues at hand. They should allow the
(rational) third parties to have more of a say in the passing of
bills.

Some great comments.....the main thing that parties do for the
candidates is help to raise money for elections...with out the party
how would you raise money? Do other countries have parties? Yes.
How come ours is dominated by two instead of someone like the Pirate
party getting a seat in Congress?

They should not abolish the two parties because people have different
views on politics. Even though people disagree about it a lot they
need the competition in politics.

I believe that is not nescessary to eliminate the two party system.
Yes, they cause people to be biased because some people were raised to
be a rep/dem but this is what our country was founded on. Throughout
our countries history there has been pparties and i do not think now
is the time to change. Many people may dissagree with me but i think
that the two party system is necessary in our country.
