It is time for a real honest to goodness 3rd party. Face it, the Democrats made almost no visible progress during the last 2 years. Oh, things would have been worse without the Democrats – the horror of Sarah Palin was averted for openers.
No matter what the “rank and file” teapotheads think – their spontaneous movement is financed by a few hugely rich fat ass old white men. And, their so called program – makes no sense. Oh, lets cut taxes, especially for the hugely rich, and not cut defense, homeland security, or medicare and social security for us old dudes – and everything will be fine…
The next session of congress will be a giant circular firing squad.
So, by 2012 – we should be able to see that the Democrats and whatever flavor of Republicans are just too entrenched in either insanity of self preservation to lead. It is time for a meaningful 3rd party. With a leader who will speak the truths that we all know – but fear to say. Raise my taxes. Cut my pork. Ask me to sacrifice for the good of the next generation. Fix my roads. Expand public transportation. Take better care of those who need care. Stop spending my money on the “drug war”. Just declare victory and leave. That goes for Afganistan too. Remember Afganistan is the country that took down the Evil Empire.
