  Lieberman

  I agree that we need either more than two parties or no parties at all. The latter would be the choice of preference.

  If I was setting up a election system it would be based on education qualifications (graduate from a four year accredited university or higher), age range between 40 and 60 years, voluntary with yearly pay equal to the average yearly pay over the last three years of working life prior to election, married with children, no criminal record, etc.

  Positions would be for one 5 year term for congressmen and president.

  People who wanted to serve their country in this capacity and met the above qualifications would have their name put into a lottery pool. 5 names would be pulled from the lottery pool and these five would debate publicly and the people would vote for one of the five.

  This would eliminate the need for parties. It would eliminate money and the corrupting influence it has from politics. The televised debates would be carried by all stations as a public service and necessary to obtain the required broadcasting license.

  Imagine a government of the people, by the people, and for the people...

  Unfortunately, it'll most likely never happen! Corruption is too deep and those in power like the system the way it is.

  It is also unfortunate that Lieberman is one of the 'evil' ones. Supports anything Israel does unconditionaly. He seems to support the Zionist's goals of eliminating any threat, real or imagined, to Israel. Yep, he would be all for attacking Iran. Although he's not a 'natural' warmonger, he takes a mothers interest in his infant Israel's safety. This puts him out of touch with most Americans I imagine. I think and hope that most of us want people in power who will look at situations with an open and honest mind, evaluate based on the evidence, and then determine the best thing to do. I don't think he can do that on cricial areas like when to go to war and when not to. Lieberman seems to be a Republican, in Democrat clothing, running as an independent. The worst of all possible candidates imo!On Enviros are split over Lieberman vs. Lamont posted 3 years, 2 months ago 9 Responses
