Is firing the two main parties the only answer left to us?

We have been firing the individual candidates for years without any real change in the type of candidates we get. Do you think the parties care that the faces and names change? The individuals get their "marching orders" from the main parties. The two main parties seem more concerned with gathering more and more money and power to themselves. They are clearly more interested in serving their corporate overlords and themselves than the American people. In my opinion, we need campaign finance reform, shorter election cycles and term limits. Neither party will ever do any of these things. They will never self correct. It is also clear that both parties are failing to represent their own constituents. President Obama is against gay marriage, but he doesn't have to be for it because gays will never vote for Republicans. During the Bush administration Republicans held both houses as well as the executive branch, but they did nothing for the pro-life movement; again because they don't have to. The religious right will never vote for Democrats. They think they have us locked in, so why do anything for the voters you will never lose? Where is the anti-war movement liberals? Republicans run up deficits just like the Democrats. Both parties raise as much money from Wall Street as the other; and let's just call that what it is: bribery. I'm not saying that businesses don't deserve a voice in our Republic, but they don't deserve such a loud voice that they drown out the voice of the common man. We were meant to be a government for the people by the people; which is supposed to mean all of us, not just the few. The "leaders" we have right now just keep us angry, scared and divided. Real leaders are supposed to unite people, lift them up, take responsibility for their actions and give credit where credit is due. The people we have now are no more than thespians playing a role with their plastic smiles and talking points. What kind of leader needs handlers or has others tell them what to say? They would have us believe that the people on the opposite side of the political spectrum are the enemy, but in reality they are our fellow Americans; our family members and friends. Surely you don't think they don't deserve a voice in our government because they have different beliefs than yourself? There is no "them"...it's just us, and that is nothing to fear. There is no defeating liberals, just like there is no defeating conservatives; there are new ones being born everyday. Also, if one side or the other did somehow get everything they want, we would no longer be the UNITED States of America. Half the country would be disenfranchised. We all have to give a little to receive much more. Democracy is compromise. If you think you should get everything you want then you need to grow up because you are being childish. We have a lot of problems in this country and it doesn't appear that either party has what it takes to correct our course. In fact, they appear to be the main problem. So, how do we fix it? In the end, our representatives work for us. A good boss knows when to fire a bad employee. If one looks at the Tea Party movement and the Occupy Wall Street crowd they both point to the fact that Americans are fed up across the political spectrum. Common wisdom says that voting for anyone other than the two main parties is wasting your vote, and who wants to do that? I say that voting for either main party is a wasted vote. What if we had a voters revolution? There are many other parties. Liberals could vote for members of the Green Party, Socialist Party or the Peace and Freedom Party. Conservative could vote for the Libertarian Party, the Constitution Party or we could make the Tea Party a more legitimate party. There are many more to choose from. What would happen if we did this is the liberal parties would have to compete for liberal votes; thus forcing those parties to actually be liberal, and the conservative parties would have to compete for conservative votes; thus forcing those parties to actually be conservative. This would also give us more choices for President because as all of these parties grew they would all put forward candidates. Also, we have a lot of sailors, Marines, soldiers and Airmen and women returning home, and they are going to need jobs. Who better to run for office in these minority parties? This is the best answer to our problems that I can come up with. So, what do you guys think? Possible, impossible? If you have a better idea I would love to hear it. We can't just wait for someone to save us. We have to save ourselves. There is no knight in shining armor. No "political messiah". In the end, all we have to do is change the way we vote.
