This is all Kabuki theater...we have a one party system...the Washington DC party. The leftwing is in power now...they drive us hard left...when the rightwing comes in they find excuses to keep the gains the left made last time. Remember the promises the GOP made to repeal the lightbulb ban a few short months ago?

Worth repeating. Which is why we need to consider finding a third party to become a serious opposition party.

Yes...it is becoming self evident that a third party is the only way to go. Electing Republicans does nothing about the essential problem of debt and taxes. Let’s stop pretending it does.

Electing the GOP somewhat slows the growth of government, but only somewhat. It’s not good enough anymore. We are going over a cliff.

In 1854 the Republican party became sectional, and soon national in opposition to the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which opened the West to slavery. Men like Lincoln, Seward, and Fremont said “enough”...something similar has to happen today.

Still looking for a Lincoln or a Reagan. Gotta be out there somewhere.

I still prefer storming the ramparts of the repugnican/demonrat castle to building our own.

These guys have set in stone a bunch of rules to benefit each other - hence the one-party ruling class - creating a redoubt impenetrable to third parties.

We must capture one of the parties in the primaries to gain entrance.

If you want four more years of Obama, this is the sure-fired way to get it.
