RINOs expelled from republicans and the same old democrats.

If there are four, then there will be five: Tea Party, Republicans, No Labels, Democrats, Moonbats. Anybody could win.

that scenario does move us in the Globalist’s preferred direction of a Parliamentary system.

The MSM’s latest attempt to “Ross Perot” the Tea Party movement.

Bloomberg is no Perot. As I wrote on another thread:

Most scientists in this country are Democrats. That's a problem. (barf alert!)

You cannot discount a Bloomberg run (remember what Perot gave us).

The gun grabbing, gay marriage and ground zero mosque promoting mayor who demanded that city hospitals with Ob/Gyn residencies teach abortion thinks he's a moderate. I'm from NYC. I still live here.

He calls himself an independent. All he got was money to burn for his hard leftist self. He'll take votes from Obama and those who want big government. He'll get no votes from the right or those who lean right. Perot took votes from the right and those who leaned right.

Former lifelong rat became the uber RINO after Giuliani, then an independent when he was thinking of a third party run for the White House in 2008.

Perot didn't have a cultural agenda. He was the vessel for those fuming about Bush the elder's broken promise of, "Read my lips, no new taxes." Bloomberg's agenda is pretty obvious.

“No Labels”

Translation:

“No Principles”

The biggest problem with all the persons involved, and with the idea itself, is that the idea that “the government is the solution” is not questioned, on any issue they think they should address.

A lot of communists/socialists and rinos in this group. Shouldn’t they be kissing Pelosi’s ass or something?

Follow the Money to the Root of the No Labels Moderate Movement

Now, what is this? Well, let's take a look at who these people are. Mark McKinnon, Kiki McLean, Nancy Jacobson. I'll tell you what this is about. It is about money. These are political consultants. They need candidates. They need candidates running for office for whom they can take whatever the consultant gets, 5%, 10%, what have you. All three founders of No Labels are Democrats. They would love for Bloomberg to run for president. Why? Because he is a billionaire. Get him to run as an independent, maybe even third party. You know, sucker him into an independent run where they get the money, win or lose. Whether he wins or loses doesn't matter. They get the money. And he would lose. But there are always, as a friend of mine says, there are always political operatives who will tell a billionaire what he wants to hear, and we know that Bloomberg wants to run. He just says he's not. He says he doesn't want to, but we know he does want to.

"A who’s-who of centrist and independent politicians -- including New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Sen. Joe Lieberman, Gov. Charlie Crist and Reps. Mike Castle and Bob Inglis -- will gather in New York City this morning for the launch of No Labels, a new non-profit group aimed at promoting cooperation across party lines. In a four-minute video prepared for today’s launch, a collection of the group’s founding leaders call for politicians to move beyond partisanship and focus on solutions." Notice how this comes on the heels of a Democrat shellacking. Notice how three Democrat campaign consultants form a group called No Labels to forget politics, to find solutions, and move beyond partisanship. Well, it's natural that a bunch of losing Democrats would want to get rid of the loser moniker and sucker a bunch of smarter than they think they are Republican conservatives to join them under the same auspices.
