Should the US have a third party?

Well, I for one have no respect what-so-ever for anyone currently "serving" in Congress. The incredible cost of an effective election campaign ensures the corruption of anyone elected. No one can get into congress without spending millions. Special interests step in to fill the war chests and incidently buy themselves a congressman.

My congressman can smile and shake hands with the best of them, but his soul belongs to the Cattleman's Association and Coors beer along with a couple of giant financial outfits.
