   Come up with a workable solution for us and we'll consider it. The "Tea   
   Party" is just a protest movement, not much else. The U.S. doesn't give   
   much chance to a third party, even though Canada has the Conservatives,   
   Liberals and NDP.  The U.S. system is party based, it's not based   
   on independent voting since all Democrats vote the same way as do   
   Republicans. Rare for either side to vote against their own party caucus.   
      
   So if you can come up with a workable solution, we'd love to hear it.
