In the US the only real choices at the presidential level are
Democrats and Republicans

Unfortunately, it only seems that way because most people don't think
other
parties stand a chance. However, I think as more people get fed up with
personal liberties (and incomes) getting gobbled up by government, more
will
seriously consider alternatives.

The Republicans would be in bad shape if they lost 300,000 votes to the
Libertarian Party. There is a suspision that the LP cost the GOP a couple
of
senate seats in the 2002 elections.

Thank goodness. At least a flicker of hope exists for a rational
government.
