Probably an independent.
I'd like to see people stop talking about how welfare queens are ruining our country and ask why we aren't subsidizing business and industries that create jobs - not jobs like Wal Mart sales rep but jobs that pay a living wage. I'd like to see people look at the education system and instead of thinking that we get paid too much (yes, $11.50 an hour to teach criminals whilst I am unarmed is a great wage), ask why, instead of teaching children who would rather learn a trade to work we are trying to push them into mastering Geometry like the kids who want to go to college. Ask why college is being devalued when college students come in unprepared because we can't teach for shit if we are having to teach to the test.
Ask what we are still doing in Afghanistan because we servicefolk barely know and ask why, if we have to be in Afghanistan, are we cutting equipment and training funds for servicepeople? Ask why we are putting so much money into fracking when that money could be put into finding a way to cheaply mass produce alternative energy methods that your average American can afford.
Or fuck, whatever, don't vote.
I could care less what party they were from. How about the best candidate. With that said, if Hilary Clinton wins the presidency I'm moving to Canada.
Every time the republicans get in office they add to the national debt greatly. We go into recession so a few can add to their wealth at everybody else's expense, blaming the former administration for everything.
They do not support the arts, new technology or protect the population from excessive profits their cronies derive from policy.
If the republicans do get in this time (which they surly will because Americans are such incredibly stupid and gullible sheep, politically) watch the oil prices climb to a new high and remember this post.
Every one of you who was an adult when Bubya left office should ask yourself; were you better off financially then or now; when Clinton left office?
There's no independent party, OP. That's just what people call themselves when they don't want to be associated with the Democrats or Republicans.
I want the most dickish, greedy sets on politicians in existence to win the election. I hope they defang the unions entirely, support measures to cut wages and toss out minimum wage, give tax cuts to the wealthy, make it even harder to get healthcare, and basically just fuck people over so hard that they get shaken from their complacency and produce some measure of societal progress through the inevitable class struggle that such a political situation would induce.
