Without third parties, all forward movement stops. They're essential. They're not just OK. They are absolutely essential.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Forward movement is a good thing, but I always include that it's not enough, and we have to have a base where we can truly build. That cannot be done inside of the corporate, establishment political parties.
Much of what we see in America, what most people feel has been progress and good things, have been brought about by the existence of third parties.
Even though this is late in an election year, there is no way we can go forward except together and no way anybody can win except by serving the people's urgent needs. We cannot stand still or slip backwards. We must go forward now together.
Most of the international community, most of the countries around the world, don't want any side, any party to take unilateral steps. They would like that all of us to stick to the road map.
The most important issue we have to deal with is freedom of movement.
We must all assume out responsibilities to take the country forward.
Bipartisanship is nice, but it cannot be a substitute for action, not having it cannot prevent us from going forward.
If the 1992 and 2000 elections were any guide, third-party candidates are death on the mainstream parties with which they're most naturally aligned.
You can't propel a nation to move forward if all you are doing is taking something from them.
I do not support the third party movement anymore. I now advocate the abolishment of all political parties. We've allowed the parties to take over the government.
