I was building on an idea from another poster, but heck ya, I am ready to see if it is the PARTY or the elected legislators that is the problem---
I was just on a thread about a split in the HOUSE GOP about the Social Security bill---some of the GOP want a separate personal account, while others want it like Bush, using part of already deducted Soc. Security amounts, so I am coming to the conclusion that on a LOT of subjects, the GOP have competing factions of moderates and conservatives...
Therefore, we the voters have some questions that need to be answered...what WE should do, also.
My mom has told me this and I have heard it on Hannity as well. The Democrat Party AND the Republican Party have moved to the left, which is leaving a big portion of the conservative population without a true voice. Most Republicans overlook the fact that conservatives provide them with the power.
If there was someone that could unite the true conservatives, I truly believe that a third-party candidate could be elected. Heck, Perot could have been elected if he didn't bail out like Clinton told him to. Not that Perot was THE man, but a good example of how a third-party underdog could actually win.
