Well said.
I have to remind myself that Nixon created the EPA -- that evil monstrosity is the product of a Republican. On the other hand, being asked to vote for, as president, the most successful political instrument yet of implemented state-run health care, among other vast government power-grabs, had not happened to me in the GOP until 2012. It occurs to me that as long as Romney and the positions he represents are "in" with Republicans, then it's the wrong party.
The Republican brand is so willfully bereft, so equally to be criticized as the left for growing government's burden, that the timing may be spot-on for a third party.
A place where people can unite in their rejection of both parties.
We hear there's no difference between the two parties and we hear the Republican party has gone too far to the right--someone is wrong.
