Is it time to seriously consider a change of the two party system?

I think that the system needs to change...there needs to be Open primaries.

By open primaries I mean that ALL candidates run in an open system in the primaries...
they can affiliate themselves with any party they choose.

The primaries are held like the general election...every body votes on the same day...
The voters are given ballots with EVERY BODY running from every party and voters are allowed to vote for ANY BODY...regardless of the voter or the candidates party affiliation.

The votes are tallied....and the TWO candidates with the most votes, FROM TWO DIFFERENT PARTIES, then run in the general national election the following year.

If it is a Democrat and a Libertarian candidate, or whether its a Republican and a Green party candidate, than so be it...the two candidates from different parties run...and that is it.

Leaving a two party system really only achieves the dilution of the vote. In other words we cannot have more than two candidates because that only allows a candidate to win the election with less than 50 % or a majority of the votes...

For example...the 1992 election between Clinton, Bush and third party candidate Perot was won by Bill Clinton with only 43% of the votes.

By holding the primaries as open elections for candidates the voters are not stuck voting for any particular party...and thus the two candidates elected by the people are the only two candidates on the ballot in November....eliminating the possibility of a president being elected with 34% of the vote.

Start off with dumping Democrats in their entirety, since they've openly stood with Socialists and Communists.

Dump ALL RINO GOP who've forgotten their conservative, Constitutional principles.

And how about placing the following on a National Referendum THIS YEAR?

Proposed Constitutional Amendments:

1) Term Limits Amendment: Limits a U.S. Representative to no more than six, 2-year terms, and a U.S. Senator to no more than 2, six-year terms. No compensatory annuity shall be granted following any term of service for Congress or the President.

2) Balanced Budget Amendment: Congressional spending is forthwith limited to ONLY those enumerated powers set forth in the body of Article I of the Constitution. The Federal government is hereby limited to spending only what it takes in for any given budgetary period. Emergency spending is forthwith limited to times the nation is at war, and ONLY to be used to support national security.
Congress shall receive NO pay raise until the budget is balanced, and upon the latter, only the people may grant such an increase through their assent once every two years. Such increase shall NOT be more than two-thirds of a percent greater than the cost of living.

3) Streamline Legislation Amendment: Limits the size and scope of legislation to ONLY those features which support the title of proposed legislation. Legislation for any given session of congress MUST be apportioned in the annual budget. The only discretionary spending authorized beyond that which has been allocated for in the budget, shall be deemed necessary by reasons of national security. As a check and balance to congressional abuses, the executive is granted the line-item veto to eliminate ONLY those previsions not germane to the title of said bill.
The application and force of all laws passed by the legislature shall apply equally to the legislators.

4) Judicial Review Amendment – The constitutionality of all bills passed by the legislative branch must be determined by the U.S. Supreme Court before it goes to the president for consideration.

5) Flat Tax Amendment: Repeal the 16th Amendment! Institute a flat tax structure to replace the 16 Amendment

Career politicians; you are now on notice! Your era of limitless spending and life-long entitlement to public office is OVER!

It is long past time to dethrone those career politicians that have this country by the throat and to inaugurate the era of the true representative, the citizen politician so envisioned by our founding fathers.
