LETTERS: THIRD PARTIES BACK CONSTITUTION

To the editor:

When all is said and done, the Democrats and the Republicans will still argue over who is the best. I find it hard to believe that the average intelligent citizen would even want to be categorized as either. The true Democrats and Republicans are the people running this great nation into the ground. Democrats are no longer for the poor. They are for the lobbyist who can give the most donations to their cause. And the Republicans have followed suit with donations from big corporations. With power and money, honor and responsibility are sometimes thrown out. This may explain why the headlines are filled with stories of corruption and deceit.

You've all heard of divide and concur. The two major parties have done such a good job of this that Democrats almost have a hatred for their friends, neighbors and relatives who are Republicans. The Republicans who say throw Clinton out think that their friends, neighbors,and relatives who approve of Clinton are in some way less American. With all the spin doctors and propaganda, it's a wonder that we haven't had another civil war.

At the risk of sounding Republican or ruffling the feathers of Democrats, I will once again say throw Clinton out.

Once again I would like to boast about the third parties and their efforts to reform this great nation. I have read what they stand for, the Constitution, and believe they might be the last hope. I have never heard any of these parties -- Reform, Libertarian, Green -- put down another third party. This may be because they all truly believe in the Constitution, not the watered down version of it, and are not corrupt by the powers that run this country.
