----We need a viable third party now.----
Third party?! Hell, we need a viable SECOND party right now. Because the growing corruption within the Republican Party that has LED to things like this has been made possible by the utter lack of any reasonable alternative. The Democrats, of course, have rendered themselves totally unacceptable for any elective office at any level of government. The Libertarians are closet Democrats. The Constitutionalists think it's still 1808.
If the Republicans maintain their congressional majorities this fall, I promise you all that it will be in large part because the people will understand that the alternative is handing Congress over to outright Stalinists. The Democratic Party must be destroyed and replaced with something that will give Americans an actual choice in their elections. Because I've voted straight-ticket GOP in every cycle since I came of voting age, and with a single exception (Bobby Jindal), I honestly can't recall a time that I cast a positive vote FOR any of my party's nominees. Bush included.
