It's drawing near where a third party is a viable option.
You won't get an argument from me about who plays what with constituents. And, whether we want it to or not, money makes the world go 'round.
Also, I believe that a third-party will be a viable option when it is no longer a third-party. How, you ask? Simple. Make the Dems go the way of the Whigs.
It can happen.
The Dems are weak, aborting themselves and fagging themselves out of a powerful existence. Now that Presidents can get elected without either New York or California, the game has changed. Coastal and Midwestern urban areas are the strength of the Democrat Party. By the time the 2010 census comes, their strength will be further weakened.
The GOP must be used to thoroughly demolish the Democrats. That's right, use the GOP to that end. Two can play the "using" game.
The GOP and its party members do indeed have that strength as long as we on the Right do not fracture and defeat ourselves.
The "other" party will then come from the eventual splitting of the GOP. We're not talking about 50 years down the line, either. I fully believe that this will come about by '08 or no later than '12.
Put that in the bank and it will draw interest.
you're on a roll.
Your # 50 is sweet.

Excellent post. I agree with you that a new party will become viable soon. The American political landscape is ripe for change.
The border issue just highlights the need for a new party.
