I’ve never been one for a third party. The challenge before us has always been to take the reigns from the GOPe.
However, this story suggests a path where there is no other option - that the GOP is demolished by the ‘Rat droppings to the point where there is no GOP for the GOPtp to take over anymore.
Nigel Farage spoke to CPAC last week noting that the UK, and I think the US as well, is a Corporatist state run by Big Business, Big Banks and Big Government.
Its time for a 3rd party that reaches both sides like UKIP in the UK which drew 2/3rds of Conservative voters and 40 percent of Labour voters in special elections held late last year.
Also a candidate will promise anything to get elected and if he or she does, forgets the promises that were made
There is no other alternative. We must have another party. The GOP is what it is and is never going to change from within. The party apparatus and culture is too deeply embedded for it to ever reform itself.
How many more decades of failure, weakness and incompetence do we need to see? The GOP base is suffers from the political equivalent of battered wife syndrome. The party keeps crapping all over it but the base dutifully keeps on voting for them. Its really incomprehensible.
