Technically we do have those shades of gray here, Libertarians, Green Party, Independent, Tea party, Socialist, Centrist, Communist, and many others. The problem is the big two (Dems and Reps) have a monopoly over the system, they have the money and the backing to completely over shadow anybody else running from any party...but you could probably write a book about that came about and I don't think I have the energy to post it here.
The interesting thing is on the local level you do see these parties gaining power or at least winning elections but for some reason that success just isn't translating to the national political scene, maybe someday it will.
