How true and well said! I've been thinking that this country needs another party that isn't wedded to the big money in DC, which in reality neutralizes the differences between the parties where it counts. On the matters of immigration, trade and even taxes and spending to some extent, there is virtually no difference in the parties. I'd be a lot more patient with the Republican party if I saw a steady shift back to its roots but alas what is happening is that the democratic party continues to drag the republicans to the left. What conservative that believes in the U.S. constitution needs this? I don't particularly like the Reform Party either but sooner or later a true new party, a Conservative Party, is going to emerge that will drive a wedge between the two major parties on a whole host of issues that go underrepresented in Washington. It is not a matter of if but when.
We might disagree on what is good for America, but at least we'd agree that this nation is on the side of good.
