They seem to strike a chord among the rank-and-file conservatives and pseudo-libertarians much more so than the Green Party does among liberals. Because the USA has limited itself to two distinct political parties, the main effect any third party has is to drain votes from one of the two. The extreme polarization of politics here makes a mockery of the democratic ideal. We're only one choice short of having no choice at all.
That's because the majority of American liberals (especially the ones who prefer to play the blame game instead of seeking for reform) don't end up being all that liberal when it comes down to it. I went to this site called Huffington Post and as soon as the Democrats there found out what actually adopting progressive reform meant, they would turn into Republican clones with their BS excuses. Then again, many of the people on that site came off as conservatives pretending to be liberals because it was the cool thing to do.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
