Libertarian. Green. Independent. And many, many others….
Third parties have tried, and failed miserably, to make a major impact on today’s political scene. Sure, when a third party manages to wrangle 1% of the popular vote, the two majors may take notice at an issue or two on the minor’s platform, but that is about it.
The biggest difference one has made in my lifetime was Perot managging to wrangle enough votes from Bush 41 to allow Clinton to sleaze into the White House. But that is it.
But now, I believe is the first time in modern history that the time is right for a third party to stampede onto the scene.
The Republican Party is a sham…a mere shell of it’s former self. The current McCain campaign proves it. Charging forward on issues of glogal warming and failed health care, our war hero is pandering to the left wing loons that have created a list of farces to hold mankind hostage. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a photo opp with him and Al Gore sharing a glass of lemonade, tears streaming down their faces as they watch a polar bear at the zoo.
If this hasn’t pissed off conservative, constitutional loving Republicans enough to break off and take over with a strong third party, then i don’t know what will.
The time is now! A constitution-based party would attract not the fringe, but the majority of the Republicans, and the rest will follow. We need to be taken back to our roots…not reach across the table and legitimize the rantings of liberal fruitcakes.
Someone…anyone…please, bring us home!
