>> Starting a third party (or really a fifth party, since Libertarian and Greens are third and fourth) would help cement the Dems as the PARTY and we would go down the Socialist path...to Marxism.<<

You are exactly correct. But it's not a path...it's a cliff.

And right now what we have is SOOO much better?

Actually it is. The TEApublicans are the third party, at least the potential is there to achieve the short term correction.

Wayward TEApublicans need to be punished and/or replaced.

That is true, but wayward Teapublicans on this bill, should be forgiven... I mean, if a Conservative like Michelle Bachmann and a Marxist like Rosa DeLauro BOTH voted AGAINST it, it is messed up.
