see, I don't know if I agree
comparing Canada to America, I don't know if a government unable to do anything is worse than one that gets to do whatever it wants
I don't think either are preferable, but I hate the idea of majority parties, it becomes indistinguishable from single party rule
I don't think we want to see the kind of change that would be wrought by either party getting 70 percent saturation. That's terrifying actually.
Fact: Democrat and Republican politicians are not good people. Honestly, they are all millionaire who look at for their own interests. That's why they get a freaking a raise every year. You are forgetting they voted themselves a raise in the bailout bill, right? We don't want either party with that much power.

I actually do not want 70% of either major party. I was only commenting on what was necessary for significant change to occur, which ties back into this topic about Ron Paul: he needs about 69 senators to think similar to him in order to get any sort of change done...regardless if the change is good or bad.
